"The year I stopped trying."

Sixteen-year-old Mary Davies always does what she's told and gets good grades in school, so much so, that it's how she identifies herself. However, when one of her homework assignments goes missing with few if any consequences, Mary has an epiphany and decides to take other risks, like asking out cute Mitch who is a bad boy with pink hair and getting to know snarky co-worker Elyse, who is gay. As she discovers newness in both relationships, she comes to understand more about herself and what she wants for her future.
