After a tense run-in with the law earlier that morning, Jim Stark, a careworn new student at Dawson High, prepares himself for yet another clean slate in a new town. This comes after Jim had an unpleasant run-in with the law earlier that morning. After attending a school field trip to the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, Jim will, once again, find himself in the middle of a mess when he attracts the attention of the school’s most audacious miscreant, Buzz. Jim is hiding the profound but diffuse angst that comes with being a teenager.

Under those conditions, the only way to distinguish the men from the boys is through a perilous test of bravery.

Now that the wheel of alienation and rebelliousness in adolescence has come full circle, the petulant trio will be forced to travel back to the place where all first started. Does life constantly provide opportunities for do-overs?
