Brooklyn Reed, a newly transferred senior, had always struggled with finding her place, especially when it came to friends. Whereas some might've been excited about a fresh start at a new school, she was terrified that she was going to relive her old experiences. While dealing with memories of her past, she tries to change her personality and become "basic" by hanging out with a totally different crowd of people. Follow her as she learns that her weaknesses don't always define her, the past doesn't always stay in the past, and that art isn't actually lame.
