Sixteen-year-old Celeste Fayeni, a Nigerian-born student at Crestview Academy, California. She determined to graduate and earn a scholarship to Harvard University, despite facing constant bullying and criticism. Bullied by Hayvin and Aria, the school's queen bees, Celeste is ostracized for her quiet nature and Nigerian accent, which makes English her weakest subject. Struggling with mental illness and living with her distant uncle, Kunle, a math teacher in the same school, Celeste is fueled by a desire to make her hardworking mother, Bella, proud.
But things take a sharp turn when Crestview Academy hires a new English teacher-Mr. Rowan Dominic, is a former star student and the school's golden boy. His arrival stirs resentment in both the students and faculty. Despite his charm and intellect, Rowan faces harsh skepticism, especially from Celeste, who sees him as yet another obstacle standing between her and her dream.
