Nasrin is a first year student at NYU--hooray! But, depending on who you ask, she's in the wrong school. Or maybe not, since her parents think she's at Stern, not Tisch. The actor-singer-dancer makes fast friends with recovering child star Beckett, whose new role is Gay Best Friend. Caught up in her lying to the parents and acting in a web musical, Nasrin falls easily into the trope of neglecting the people she cares about. It's a good enough story; maybe I'm just in a bad mood while writing this!
