The Sabotage Cafe

As a teenager in the 1980s punk scene, Julia suffered an unspeakable trauma. Years later, she has made a new life for herself in the suburbs, desperately working to maintain a sense of normalcy. But when Julia's sixteen-year-old daughter, Cheryl, goes missing, Julia is forced to envision her every move. From the city's back alleys to the abandoned Sabotage Café, Julia watches her daughter retrace her own coming-of-age, a mélange of sex, drugs, and random acts of violence.
