April finds herself torn between two conflicting emotions – an illicit flirtation with her soccer coach and an unreciprocated crush on her classmate Teddy. Meanwhile, Fred, a lively and unrestrained individual, embarks on a relationship with Emily, a promiscuous loner seeking validation through sexual encounters. As the parties in their high school life blur together, April and Teddy grapple with acknowledging their mutual affection, while Fred’s reckless behavior leads to escalating chaos.

“When a movie is being made out of a book, there is a mixed reaction on the part of fans. They are both extremely excited and also terrified.”
