Description: In this provocative comedy, Sonja is ‘The Nasty Girl’, a young girl whose digging for the truth gets her buried in the cover-up. A school project inspires Sonja to investigate her town’s past -- a subject which seems to upset her neighbors -- and Sonja’s research soon falls by the wayside. Marriage to her childhood sweetheart, the schoolteacher whom she seduced, proves a distraction, but not for long. Sonja soon discovers that her small town has some big secrets -- secrets the town wants left that way. As she gets close to the truth, she is victimized by hooded locals, and bomb threats become real bombs. The more extreme the town’s reaction to her research, the more ridiculous the situation become, but ‘The Nasty Girl’ isn’t about to give up without a fight -- no matter how outrageous or absurd the fight may get.
