Taylor Addams is the high school's "goodie-goodie."  She gets straight A's, stays away from alcohol and drugs, never skips or ditches, and plans to go to Harvard after graduation.  Her dad even went there when he was younger, so it's a must for her to get in.  It's a must for her to dress like a prep and look socially acceptable.  Taylor isn't the school's most popular girl; even if she's got the brains and even the beauty, she still doesn't fit in.  

Alex Stinger doesn't hold the spot for being in the Jock/Pep clique in school.  In fact, his friends are the "social outcasts," the "undesired" of the school.  They are treated like gang members even if they aren't technically considered a gang.  He's got all of the badass girls crawling at his feet, kissing the floor he walks on.  

But, when Alex is told he's failing out of high school, the school principal introduces the "Buddy System."  Taylor is sent out to tudor him and bring him back on track academically and socially, which might be the worst idea ever known to man.  This idea is the reason these two may reach expectations, or crumble to the ground.  Two opposite people with perhaps so much in common.  What happens when the two start to feel something realistic in the plastic world they call High School?
