It's been years since Bailey Balais had experienced the turmoil of high school, unfortunately he was one of the unlucky ones who got the shorter end of the stick of the high school experience--a very fruitless teenage love and a victim of heavy bullying. Bailey is now equipped with the wisdom of his past experiences paired with a glow up, what was once a very enthusiastic gullible scrawny kid is now a cynical adult who is aware of the advantages of his looks.
Bailey--now a 26-year-old--would later meet Ethan White, his once unattainable high school crush and former campus heart throb, and his biggest high school bully and the bane of his high school life, Karleo de la Torre. Will his overall glow-up have any influence on his future interactions with the people from the past or will it just be like high school all over again?
