A tender coming-of-age story about a teenage girl navigating first love and self-discovery while caught between her best friend's unrequited feelings and her own emerging identity.

Seventeen-year-old Anne just fell in love with Sasha, the most popular girl at her L.A. public high school. But when Anne tells her best friend, Clifton—who has always harbored a secret crush on her—he does his best to get in the way.
