To counteract, Lacey earns good grades and helps her best friend weather typical high-school dramas. Enter new student Sam Stone, who asks Lacey out. Unfortunately, Lacey cannot tolerate another person, even cute Sam, who has “heard about her dad” and “knows how she feels.” Consumed with guilt and disgusted by insincere classmates, Lacey begins a support group for students who have lost a parent.
