Meet Kirsten Jones.
Remember that know-it-all you hated in high school or that smart girl that topped the class without much effort? That's who Kirsten is-a know it all back-talker. That is until she is shipped off to her grandmother's house in the middle of nowhere to refine her behavior. Kirsten only wants to get back home where there is unlimited WiFi and junk food at her disposal. However, what happens when her plans don't go accordingly?
