Jason is a basketball star and one of the most popular guys in school. Brainy Kyra isn’t, but she doesn’t care what other people think.

Normally, the two would live in their separate worlds until graduation. But fate intervenes, and the unlikely duo is paired up for a class project. Kyra soon realizes that Jason is not the dumb jock she anticipated. And Jason finds himself telling Kyra things he can’t even tell his best friend. As the two start to fall in love, no one in school can believe it, especially Jason’s ex-girlfriend, who is determined to get him back.

Being together means navigating the obstacles coming their way -- but staying apart may be impossible.
