Eighteen-year-old Jain is desperately trying to smash her final year in school so she can give herself as many options as possible. Her mother had her young and always wanted her to aim high, so she does.
Eager to avoid history repeating itself, Jain tries to distance herself from boys, which isn't easy when you're one of the popular crowd. Attention follows you wherever you go.
