One sleepless night as Sadie is surfing the web her suspicions that she and her bestie since the 7th grade are growing apart are confirmed, when she discovers that he has unfollowed her on Instagram. On her 17th birthday, her mother gifts her a 3 zone one-year transit pass telling her to “go out and explore, discover new things and have adventures close to home.” Downtown Sadie is randomly befriended by Miami, a self-identified teeny-bopper who is the first out trans girl to attend North Shore Private Girls College. Miami introduces Sadie to her token straight, musical theatre-loving BFF Cynthia, her angsty emo boyfriend Zeke, and the rest of her clique: Ellen, an astrology-loving lesbian and Jersey, a twinky bisexual high school dropout. Sadie quickly starts to hang out with them all on the regular, but has she really found a place where she belongs? Or will old insecurities, crushes and drama get in the way?
