Synopsis

It's Morgan's first day at James Joyce Junior High School for Gifted and Talented Students, and she quickly befriends four fellow misfits: Chernobyl survivor Ana, struggling student Jeremy, and childhood friends Lacey and Lancelot.

Sure, classes are hard, but they're nothing compared to dysfunctional families, constantly fluctuating sexuality, eating disorders, school violence, nuclear fallout, and -- most dangerous of all -- love.

It's five outcasts versus adolescence as the years go by and their lives become more and more complicated and intertwined.

Eight actors play multiple parts in this dark and resonant comedy about the perils and frustrations of growing up.
