Adapted from the popular novel by Gabrielle Carey and Kathy Lette, Puberty Blues traces the lives of two adolescent females who have spent the first part of their lives in a group by themselves, while desperately trying to break into the in crowd who dominate the Greenhill beach.

Debbie (Nell Schofield) and Sue (Jad Capelja) are bored with their suburban lifestyle. They long to be "Surfie Chicks" in the Greenhills, the school's "popular" crowd. To gain and maintain this status, Debbie and Sue cheat one exams, have sex on demand, experiment with alcohol and marijuana, and treat those outside the gang with disdain.
Debbie's fright over a possible pregnancy and her shock at the heroin death of her former boyfriend lead her to re-evaluate the clique. In the end, with Sue cheering her on, she breaks free by transcending the rigorous code of the gang which holds that only boys can surf. On a beach full of their peers, these two desperate romantics assert their individuality.
