Who we are shouldn’t stay a secret. Even if you are Laras – a seemingly typical straight-A student who keeps a shocking secret: she writes an erotic fantasy blog about her crush and schoolmate, David.
A straight-A high schooler’s life is turned upside down when her risqué fantasy blog about her crush is leaked to everyone at school, causing her to question who her real friends are.
PLOT
Shenina Cinnamon’s character, Laras, is a bright high school student whose life is drastically transformed when everyone at school learns about her daring dream blog about the guy she likes, David (Emir Mahira). David vowed not to release it because he was aware that Laras was the author. The reward: Laras is urged to help David get closer to Dilla (Caitlin North Lewis), his best friend, who is being held responsible for this horrific fantasy by the school. Dilla continued to refute the charge while being harassed by her pals. The triangle’s relationship deteriorates into complexity.
