Three classmates—Joshua, a chess prodigy; Karen, a feminist; and Lori, a sensitive artist–start an unusual friendship, forming a clique of their own. Other kids may think they’re weird, their parents may not understand them, but they have each other. It’s movies and pizzas and dances until their perfect trio is nearly shattered by the crosscurrents of love and jealousy, of self-doubt and deep pain. What follows is a test of their strengths as young adults, as friends, and as lovers as well. And it very nearly ends in great tragedy.
