Description
A Drama Queen. A Flirt. An Athlete. A Rebel. A Nobody.
Five students about to beginning their freshman year of high school are being forced to spend their last day of summer paying for the trouble they caused in eighth grade. Instead of detention or suspension, Principal Hardy offers them an alternative: spend a day volunteering at an assisted living home, and in exchange they'll start high school punishment free.
Taking place in the course of a single day, these five students will spoon applesauce into toothless mouths, begrudge writing a sure-to-be-lame skit, and somehow manage to forge a bond not only with the elders they are caring for, but also with each other. As secrets are revealed, they realize that there is so much more to each of them than the labels they've been carrying.
