A warm, irreverent teen comedy-drama that mines humor from the social chaos of high school through a protagonist's self-aware first-person narration, balancing relatable struggles with genuine affection for its characters.

An irreverent look at the conflict, chaos and humor that defines teenage life through the eyes of 15-year-old Jenna Hamilton whose life begins to change when a simple accident becomes an epic misunderstanding and is blown way out of proportion. Narration in the first-person voice of Jenna's blog posts captures the humor within the struggles and experiences everyone can relate to from their formative years.
