Five high school students from different social circles are required to spend a Saturday in detention at their school. The group consists of the brainy Brian, the rebellious John, the popular Claire, the athletic Andrew, and the eccentric Allison. At first, they resent one another and struggle to relate across their clashing personalities and backgrounds, leading to tense confrontations and misunderstandings.

However, as the day progresses, they begin to open up about their insecurities, home lives, and personal pressures. Through honest conversation and sharing their unique experiences, they start to see past their initial stereotypes and develop unexpected connections. By the end of the detention session, they understand each other better, gaining insight into their shared humanity and forming a deep bond that transcends their social differences.
