1950s upstate New York – a group of tough, adolescent girls who work in a factory together decide to create an all-female gang, known as Foxfire. Initiated and identified by the flame tattoos on their shoulders, the gang, who have grown up surrounded by violence and abuse set out to strike back against society and fight the abject humiliation suffered at the hands of men. Headed by the charismatic Legs (Raven Adamson), the girls are desperate to prove their worth to the world – bonded by blood and driven by revenge.
