In 1960, delinquent high-school student Dawn Davenport is expelled from the Baltimore school system for bad behavior and is very ungrateful when her parents refuse to buy her the cha-cha heels she wanted for Christmas.

She eventually gives birth to a daughter, Taffy, whom she often beats and punishes severely.

In 1974, Donald and Donna Dasher, the owners of the beauty salon, recruit Dawn to be part of an artistic experiment to prove that "crime and beauty are the same".
