Kids offers a bleak, unblinking view of a group of vacuous, thoughtless New York City teens in their ceaseless quest for sex, drugs, and trouble. The film primarily follows
Telly (
Leo Fitzpatrick), who, having just realized the conquest of his latest virgin, brags that by day's end he will claim one more. While he and his friends brag to each other about their sexual exploits,
Jenny (
Chloë Sevigny) describes her own less-than-romantic encounter with
Telly. Soon after the conversation, she learns that
Telly, the only boy with whom she has slept, has infected her with the AIDS virus. Devastated, she sets out to find him and share the news. Meanwhile,
Telly has set his sights on
Darcy (
Yakira Peguero), a lovely young girl whom he invites for a skinny dip at the local pool. Together with his friends,
Telly drags
Darcy along, and the entire crew jump the fence after hours. There he presents his now-familiar spiel which
Darcy naïvely accepts, and the scene is set for disaster as the group heads back to a vacant apartment for an evening of sex, booze, drugs, and debauchery.
Jenny finally locates
Telly at the impromptu party and rushes to confront him, although she may be too late to save the next virgin in line from sharing her fate.
