 Muses is a tender coming of age story set in small town Chico, California. Angela (Julie Brydon) faces the reality that life is about to change as her high school days draw to a close. Angela also realizes that her best friend Jessica (Marion Kerr) is no longer someone she really knows. Angela is searching for something deeper; something or someone to inspire her and her poetry to go further and she has fixated on Etta (Laura Ushijima), a loner girl who sleeps through their mutual English class. In an attempt to impress Etta, Angela buys a fake ID and sneaks into a bar where instead of finding Etta she meets October (Etta Joy Devine). So begins Angela s journey to self-discovery and self-acceptance.
