Not knowing when she'll reunite with her mom and leaving friends and a possible romance behind overwhelms Candy with anxiety. Maybe her old friends will forget about her? Maybe Benny flirts with everyone? She can't find a creative scene and becomes a target for pranks and bullying by trolls and the wannabe influencers she meets on her first day.

Will Candy run from her problems and let others define her? Or will she remember her creative roots and lead the group into something the school won't soon forget?
