In an affluent suburban high school, three students find their lives entangled as they push the boundaries of their emotions and desires. Alexa, an ambitious and serious actress, yearns for more than her safe and controlled existence. She is determined to experience new depths of life and throws herself into risky situations to find a deeper sense of self. Johnny, a rich and brooding loner with a troubled past, becomes her focal point. Alexa's obsession with understanding Johnny leads her into a complex relationship that challenges her perceptions of love, friendship, and her own identity.

Additionally, Ben, Alexa's best friend who harbors secret feelings for her, becomes inadvertently drawn into the whirlwind of Alexa's transformative experiences. His involvement exposes him to unexpected desires and insecurities, particularly as he grapples with his own hidden yearnings and the ever-changing dynamics between the trio. The push-and-pull relationships between Alexa, Johnny, and Ben evolve, compelling each of them to confront their fears and uncertainties. As they navigate the aching and exhilarating trials of youth, the impact of their choices reverberates through their lives, bringing them face-to-face with the raw truths of who they are and who they aim to become.
