Synopsis

"Lose your way. Find yourself."

As Fernanda (Rooney Mara) enters her senior year at Tanner Hall, a sheltered boarding school in New England, she’s faced with unexpected changes in her group of friends when a childhood acquaintance, the charismatic yet manipulative troublemaker Victoria (Georgia King), appears. Shy and studious, Fernanda is usually the voice of reason among her friends, who include adventurous and sexy Kate (Brie Larson) and tomboy Lucasta (Amy Ferguson). However, after beginning a complicated friendship with Gio (Tom Everett Scott), an older family friend, she decides it’s finally time to take some risks.

Jealous of Fernanda’s exciting relationship, Victoria becomes increasingly bitchy and sets out to sabotage Fernanda’s plans plotting to publicly humiliate her. Meanwhile, Lucasta struggles with her newfound feelings towards another classmate, and mischievous Kate is too preoccupied with making her teachers nervous to pay much attention to her actual classes. However, as each of the girls flirt with adulthood, they realize they still need each other to help get through their first grown-up decisions, and the consequences they bring.

Directed by Francesca Gregorini and Tatiana von Furstenberg, produced by Julia R Snyder, Tatiana von Furstenberg and Francesca Gregorini. Featuring designs by Diane von Furstenberg Studios and executively produced by Richard L Bready.
