16-year-old Shae has just had the worst year of her life. Moved across the country to Boston after her parents divorce, missing her best friend, and devastated by her boyfriend's abrupt exit from her life, she struggles with her new life on the east coast. She gets partnered online with the random Joshua Harris from Australia for a class project, and in 2013, she cannot imagine anyone else she despises any more than him. She's drowning under her life goals, social pressure, and the stress of starting her adult life on the east coast with an overbearing stepmom.
