Oh, the trials and tribulations of being a young adult in the modern
world. Just ask Sam and
Brooke. Sixteen year-old Sam (Carly Pope, Disturbing Behavior) is bright,
insecure, and on the
verge of beautiful, while trying to survive the perceived social injustices
of the status quo.
Brooke (Leslie Bibb, Private Parts), is the school’s reigning cheerleader
queen. But when
Brooke’s single father gets engaged to Sam’s mom. These two very different
girls finds
themselves thrust into a world that neither wants to inhabit. Caught in the
crossfire are Brooke’s
boyfriend Josh (Kip Pardue), who has creative aspirations that don’t fit
the image of the school’s
top jock, and Sam’s best friends Harrison (Christopher Gorham), Lily
(Tamara Mello) and Carmen
Sara Rue). Together they’re trying to manage to survive with the only
weapon they have – a biting sense of humor.
