Andy Walsh is a sharp-witted, working-class teenager who designs his own clothes and works at a vintage record store to support his struggling single mother. When he falls for Blair McDonough, a wealthy, beautiful student from the other side of the tracks, their unlikely romance threatens to shatter both their social worlds. Caught between Blair's pressure to conform and his best friend Duckette's unrequited devotion, Andy must navigate class warfare, family hardship, and the suffocating expectations of 1980s high school society. As prom approaches, he faces an impossible choice: compromise who he is for love, or stand alone in his authenticity. A tender, defiant coming-of-age story about finding your voice when the world demands you stay silent.
