It's 1955 upstate New York. A group of young women join together to form a gang, Foxfire, to fight back against their tormentors.
Other than Rita, the girls aren't given introductory time to lay out their characters. Margaret "Legs" is the only one to make an impact after that. It doesn't help that these actresses are all unknowns. They need individuality before they can form the commonality of the group. Compared to the 1996 version, this is missing the big name and big charisma like Angelina Jolie. This is a lower budget indie and it doesn't really rise above that. The time period is intriguing. Legs is intriguing. The general premise is intriguing. The rest is not.
