Bluewater is told through the eyes of a seventeen year old girl, funny and charismatic this ordinary teen is embarking on a remarkably queer weekend concerned with MSN, Cigarettes, vodka, shag bands and how much thong is too much thong, she could really do without her Saturday night house party taking an unexpected yet dreaded dyke driven turn.
