THIRTEEN is an unflinching look at the sometimes-harsh world of a young teen trying to fit in with a fast group of seventh graders in Los Angeles. Co-written by Director Catherine Hardwicke and the then-13-year-old Nikki Reed, upon whose experiences the film is inspired, THIRTEEN chronicles the life of thirteen-year-old Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood). After falling under the intoxicating influence of Evie (Nikki Reed), the most popular girl in school, Tracy finds herself entangled in a fast-paced world that spins her sedentary life and emotions wildly out of control. Her mother, Mel (Holly Hunter), frantically tries to understand her daughter�s radical transformation. Each time she reaches for her, she learns the extent to which she�s fallen just beyond her grasp.
