Casey Gardner had life figured out. She had a great boyfriend, a scholarship to the nicest school in the state, and a dysfunctional but, in the end of the day, supportive family.

Casey and Izzie are in love, although they aren't quite ready to admit it right away. Entering their senior year, reality finally hits them. They should be struggling with what prom dress to choose from but instead they're struggling with who they are. Will the two girls let ex-boyfriends or UCLA get in the way of their love? They're just two teenage girls figuring out relationships, intimacy, and life. They know nothing except that they want to figure it all out together.
