Her ex-girlfriend, Tally Gibson, ended their relationship right before transferring to a fancy high school in a neighboring town, and the breakup has left Scottie feeling like a shadow of herself-so much so that her sister calls her “a walking insecurity.” In an effort to get Tally’s attention-and possibly to win her back-Scottie bribes cheerleading captain and homecoming queen Irene Abraham to pretend that the two of them are dating.
