Plot
Drea is a popular student attending Rosehill Country Day High School, an elite private school in Miami, on a scholarship. However, she becomes a social outcast after an intimate video she sent to her equally popular boyfriend, Max, is leaked online. Despite his denial, Drea blames Max for the video's release and punches him in the face, resulting in their breakup.
Over the summer, Drea works at a tennis camp where she meets Eleanor, a tomboyish, shy girl from a wealthy background who is transferring to Rosehill as a senior in September. When Drea's car fails to start, Eleanor offers her a ride and tells her about also becoming an outcast when a false rumor spread that she forcibly kissed Carissa, another Rosehill student, at a summer camp years earlier.
