“It might kill to be a nobody. But it's murder being a somebody.”

A teenage girl who halfheartedly tries to be part of the "in crowd" meets a dashing rebel who teaches her a more sinister way to play social politics.

This is a wickedly sharp, high-energy ride through the cutthroat world of high school, drenched in 80s neon and a killer soundtrack. It feels like a rebellious, darkly comedic fever dream, where every social faux pas is amplified to theatrical extremes. Expect a vibrant, satirical, and surprisingly poignant experience.
