Summary:
A dark comedy centering around a rebellious L.A. teenager raised without ever experiencing parental love by an emotionally abusive mother. Mini lives her life by the philosophy that any new experience or "First" should be pursued, regardless of society's moral judgment about it. This philosophy leads her into the seedier side of L.A.'s nightlife--and eventually into alliance with her stepfather to have her mother committed to a mental institution.

Mini's First Time unfortunately degenerates into a sexed-up version of a Law & Order episode.
