Synopsis
High school senior Natasha has all the qualities of the perfect student council president—a clean record, exemplary grades, and years of experience. Who would stand against her? Unfortunately for her, wild card Ali likes to prove people wrong. Especially his ex. Determined to hijack the election, he and Natasha plunge into a vicious battle for the prestigious title. Student journalists fan the flames of fact and fiction as Ali puts together an ambitious performance for the speeches. Meanwhile, his little sister Lulu tries desperately to escape his looming shadow while balancing her intensely close, and at times confusing, friendship with Jennifer. She mounts her own student council run; albeit for the unopposed position of secretary. Despite the conspiring administration, Ali wins the presidency in a landslide victory. Lulu, on the other hand, overcomes her many self-doubts and wins Jennifer back.
