When a kind, charismatic new drama teacher, Mr. Moore, arrives at school, Beth's life starts to look up. She's cast as the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet, and as she grows close to super-popular Hannah (Juliet), Beth finally has the female friend she's been yearning for. Meanwhile it seems that all the girls—including Beth—are in love with Mr. Moore. And when a scandal breaks, Beth must make a decision that can only have dire consequences for everyone involved.
