A raw, fast-moving portrait of teenage pressure, told through intersecting stories of young people trying to survive a world that demands everything from them. Grades. Popularity. Resilience. Perfection. All while they are still figuring out who they are. When all they want is to be seen, understood, and safe, the pressure does not let up.
This is a character-driven drama with no easy answers and no neat endings.
Ideal for mixed ability groups. The script offers strong opportunities for both novice and advanced actors, with meaningful roles for all.
