ABOUT THE FILM:

Dee spends her idyllic high school days selling sketch artwork with her best friends, Mike and Trey. When their teacher Mrs. Lambert confiscates their money and drawings, she chastises them with a racial slur. Determined to avenge herself and friends, Dee orchestrates a plan to steal Mrs. Lambert’s beloved classroom rabbit, Reeses. She quickly discovers some of her friends have more drastic ideas in mind for revenge, all while confronting an unbeknownst school crush.
