But when the health teacher announces a "special" project that requires students to be paired and live under the same roof for one week, Melody's world gets completely turned upside down. She is forced to spend time with someone totally opposite of her and frankly, she can't stand... or so she thought.

As the project comes to an end, Melody goes to homecoming... will it be a night to remember, forget or both?
