Summary
In this dramedy that evokes classic teen movies of the late 1990s and early 2000s, Danny shows up on the first day of senior year ready to cruise to graduation – only to discover that a single-minded focus on athletics for the last three years means that tutoring is going to be necessary if Danny is to have any hopes of walking across the stage to collect a diploma. When an unlikely friendship develops between Danny and True, the class valedictorian-to-be who becomes Danny’s tutor, everyone grapples with whether it is possible to form an authentic relationship from such transactional origins.
