The movie is set against the strict social hierarchy of an American public high school. The tomboyish Watts has always considered working-class Keith Nelson her best friend. When he asks out the most popular girl in school, Amanda Jones, Watts realizes that she feels something much deeper for him. Hardy Jenns, Amanda’s jealous former boyfriend (played by Craig Sheffer) from the rich section of town, who still wants her, plans to get back at Keith.
