This coming of age drama explores teen angst and friendship from a multi-cultural perspective as three high school girls, who are best friends from different social levels, spend a weekend at a college campus competing for three coveted college scholarships. As the weekend away from their parents unfolds and the competitions in their respective subjects intensifies, upscale and sophisticated Temple (Knight Pulliam), middle class and rebellious Alex (Conwell), and the straight-laced and from modest means Breena (McSwain) negotiate the pressures and pitfalls of adolescence. They struggle to maintain their close bond while learning they must take responsibility for their actions. (official distributor synopsis)
