Asking For It is a gritty and intense action-thriller that explores themes of violence, trauma, and female empowerment. The film centers around the character of Joey, a small-town waitress who becomes the victim of a brutal sexual assault after going on a date with her old friend, Mike. Traumatized and feeling isolated and helpless, Joey finds a glimmer of hope in the form of Regina, a mysterious woman who introduces her to a fierce and fearless all-female gang known as The Cherry Bombers.
Despite their diverse backgrounds and unique struggles, the members of The Cherry Bombers are united in their fight against misogyny and violence towards women. Beatrice, Lily, Sal, Jett, Angie, and Fala are complex and dynamic characters, each with their own past traumas and scars. Through their camaraderie and mutual support, they find the strength to take on the corrupt systems that perpetrate violence and oppression.
The main targets of The Cherry Bombers' crusade are the violent frat boys who roam the town with impunity, the corrupt police force led by Sheriff Morel, and the dangerous alt-right group MFM (Men’s First Movement) headed by Mark Vanderhill. As Joey becomes more enmeshed in the gang's risky and chaotic world, she finds herself drawn into a web of danger and intrigue that threatens to consume her.
At the same time, the local Sheriff Vernon, who has a complicated history with one of the Cherry Bombers, Sal, begins to investigate the MFM, leading to a thrilling and explosive showdown that tests the limits of loyalty and love. With its dynamic action sequences, complex characters, and provocative social commentary, Asking For It is a gripping and thought-provoking film that tackles important issues with honesty and authenticity.
