Sally, 17, is locked up at Teenland. A prison-like institution for teens who are so fucked emotionally that they have developed supernatural powers . The mission is to normalize the misfit teens and Sally accepts the premise that she is sick and abnormal.
Everything changes when Sally encounters power sociopath Ting- e –ling, who convinces Sally that she must use her skills and dare to loose control. This is what teenagers do! When playing a provocative sexual play, the two girls are punished .
Sally wakes up in a world far from the pink prison she knows. Instead the institution is bleak and she has momentarily slipped out of her psychosis. But Sally is changed, and when she is reminded of the fact that the institution has captured her friend, she decides to save Ting- e- Ling by using her special powers. Sally has chosen her pink world. The rebellion has begun.
