Their world is upended when they are voted "Biggest Good Girls" in the school yearbook. Danielle, fearing they are destined to be boring for the rest of their lives, convinces a reluctant Sam to rebel. On the final night of their senior year, after discovering a joint belonging to Sam's father, the duo decides to get high for the first time.
