"One year. One goal. A thousand ways to mess it all up."
Devi Vishwakumar is a hotheaded, overachieving Indian-American teen at Sherman Oaks High School navigating social ambitions, teenage love, and grief after her father's sudden death — alongside her best friends Eleanor and Fabiola.
Characters
Eleanor Wong is Devi's best friend, the kind of girl who treats every hallway like a runway and every conversation like a performance — she's bold, dramatic, and unapologetically herself, the type to wear something completely over-the-top just because she can, layering colors, textures, and statement pieces that scream "look at me" without saying a word, her outfits always feeling like a costume for whatever role she's decided to play that day, equal parts chaotic and fabulous, all while carrying the quiet ache of an absent mother who walked out of her life, leaving behind wounds that no amount of theatrics can fully hide.
Devi's sharp, robotics-obsessed best friend who is quietly but confidently figuring out her identity — both as a scientist with serious ambitions and as a young woman discovering who she truly is outside of academics and friendship. She's secretly lesbian.
Devi's crush. The school's dreamy heartthrob and star swimmer who everyone sees as the effortlessly cool popular guy, but who is slowly and genuinely learning to take himself seriously, push past his own limits, and be seen as more than just his looks. Girls love him.
Devi's sharp-tongued academic nemesis who puts enormous pressure on himself to be the best at everything, using rivalry and wit to mask a loneliness that runs much deeper than anyone around him realizes.
Devi's warm but no-nonsense therapist who patiently helps her work through grief, impulsive decisions, and the everyday chaos of being a teenage girl — offering a grounded outside perspective that Devi doesn't always want but always needs.
Devi's stern, highly accomplished mother who loves her daughter fiercely but struggles to show it, all while quietly grieving the loss of her husband and trying to keep her family standing strong on her own. She's a typical indian woman.
Devi's cousin and the picture-perfect ideal Indian woman on the surface — beautiful, obedient, and academically brilliant — but underneath, secretly rebelling against her family's traditional expectations through a hidden boyfriend and an unwanted arranged engagement. She's staying in Devi's home since she's studying Biology in America.
Intro
Devi walks into Sherman Oaks High, head held high, determined to leave last year behind. The hallways are loud, familiar, and completely indifferent to her pain. She spots Paxton across the hall — perfect as always — and makes a silent vow to herself. This year will be different. Eleanor and Fabiola fall into step beside her, and for a moment everything feels almost normal. Almost.
