As a child, Rue Bennett struggled with mental disorders and her father's death from cancer, which led to a drug addiction. Now, the 17 year old Rue returns home from rehab and immediately buys drugs from her friend and drug dealer Fezco "Fez". Karlson Rivera, a young boy who is new in town, is invited by Kat Hernandez, a classmate, to a party hosted by popular college freshman Christopher McKay. Jules decides to first meet up at a motel with an older man from a hookup app. She lies about her age and they have sex. At the party, Kat loses her virginity. McKay and his girlfriend Cassie Howard have an uncomfortable sexual encounter, but discuss it tenderly. Maddy Perez, who recently broke up with star quarterback Nate Jacobs, has public revenge sex with a partygoer known as Tyler. Angered by this, Nate drunkenly harasses Jules, as she got back up by her friend Karlson. She threatens Nate with a knife before cutting herself and getting punched in the face. Karlson leaves the party, accompanied by Maddy, who introduces herself and goes home with him.
