Caitlin Rose is a shy 17-year-old in the new town of Lockhart, Illinois. She is not very well known at her school, but with the help of her best friend, she is accepted into the popular group at school, known as ''The Crew''. While partying one night, she bonds with Ethan, and eventually she's sleeping with him while being secretly watched by his best friend, Jace ( but full name is Jason ) . Acting under peer pressure, she soon starts to rebel, neglecting school and getting into trouble. A lot of the teachers are bothered by their behavior, complaining to administrators that they get away with everything to no avail.
