Lizzie Ernshaw (Emma Thompson) has just lost her husband and, being a woman, may no longer remain on her husband's estate. She must return to live with her father, Booker Creakey (Michael Caine), who in his old age is in very poor health. Only six months have passed since her husband's death, but a romance has sparked between Lizzie and David Linkinwater (Benedict Cumberbatch) despite its impropriety. Will the two be allowed to court, or will outside forces keep these star-crossed lovers from one another forever?

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
