Synopsis

In this modern adaptation of the Greek classic Antigone, a rebellious high school student named Alice must respond to the sudden and shattering death of her older brother, the class valedictorian – who was shot while robbing a convenience store.

Up against an unyielding principal and accompanied by a bookish Geek Chorus, Alice must find her own way through personal and classical tragedy.

In honoring her brother, she'll probably break some rules.

Which is more important?
