As high school student Eddie (Jacob Zachar) arrives at Lincoln High School’s after-school detention, he finds himself among a colorful array of classmates: Janet (Christa B. Allen), the bubbly cheerleader who unknowingly captures his heart; Brad (Jayson Blair), the arrogant jock known for his bullying antics and ROTC dreams; Jimmy (Max Adler), Brad’s accomplice and another football aficionado; and Ash (Justin Chon), the easy-going stoner with a constant smile.
