It is 1985, Singapore. Meishi, a lonely 16 year old school girl, desperately wants to be part of a group and be cool. She feels that she sticks out, she's too tall and plays the tuba in the school band. Meishi lives alone with her strict father who's nursing a broken heart as Meishi's mother left them for an Australian sailor. One day, Meishi follows her happening cousin Elaine to the mall and expresses her desire to be part of Elaine's gang - CP KidZ. But the handsome gang leader Zach thinks Meishi is just not cool enough. There is a big dance off between rival gangs CP KidZ and Loverboys coming up and Meishi endeavours to do well during this dance off to prove her worth into CP kidZ. Elaine volunteers to help her but when Meishi's father finds out he plans to put a stop to it. He does not want Meishi to turn wild like her mother and ruin her life.
