The story is about a 13 year old girl Ellie, who meets the boy of her dreams. She sees him almost everyday and loses the track of time, which makes her dad angry. He doesn't want her to see Russell but gives up after a while. Then, Ellie has to choose between going to a dance with Russell or to a rock concert with her two best friends, Magda and Nadine.
There are fights because of that but she chooses the concert. But when the girls come there they find out the concert is cancelled. Because Nadine fancies one boy, who says he is from a rock band the girls end up in a strange house in a dangerous part of London with some shady boys who want them to drink and smoke.
