Stephanie Aggiston, a teenage girl from the countryside, is sent to Starkwater Hall Boarding School for the summer to brush up on advanced French. The institution is portrayed as a prestigious private girls’ academy, and Stephanie, with her country roots, finds the environment to be a little snobbish and intimidating. She keeps her eyes open for friendship and soon discovers kindred spirits in a small circle of fellow students: Marita Armstrong, Calli, and Shama, who is a Saudi princess and her roommate. The initial days are a mix of new routines, social dynamics, and the quiet tension that often accompanies a school with such a polished outward appearance.
