Sophomore iconoclast Cindy Gold publishes an anti-prom letter in her high school newspaper, but when she develops a crush on her SAT tutor, on top of the ones she already has on popular senior Adam Silver as well as a boy she has been exchanging instant messages with, she begins to doubt her own convictions.

Now that her soap opera is in production and everyone has ideas on how it can be improved, sixteen-year-old Mallory struggles to maintain control of her original plot and characters as the broadcast premier draws near.
