An exploration of Singapore's societal and cultural expectations through the lens of a misfit in an all-girls' school, as she joins a girl gang and tries to pass the all-important final year examinations. As the young nation carves out its own identity through its unmitigated hunger for progress, Choo—who doesn’t conform to its exacting standards—struggles to maintain her individuality as she seeks to belong.
