A warm, nostalgic coming-of-age comedy-drama set in 1980s Connecticut that follows a teenage Carrie Bradshaw discovering fashion, friendship, and first love.

Before she was a fashion icon, before her column in the New York Star, before Mr. Big, Carrie Bradshaw was an innocent 16-year-old girl living in suburban Connecticut.
