Description
Summary:Outcasts and best friends Serena Velasco and Melody Grimshaw strive together to survive senior year and break away from their rural factory town.
Serena Velasco and her friend Melody Grimshaw are dying to get out of Colchis. They've been keeping a safe distance from the bleakness of home and the banality of high school. To make things more interesting Serena fixates on communism, eager to get a rise out of their conservative small town. Her Western Civ teacher challenges her with an independent study of class and upward mobility -- what creates the spaces between us. Melody is determined to make it onto the cheerleading squad, find a job, and escape the weight of her family's reputation. But Melody's quest for success becomes a fight for survival, and Serena's independent study gets a little too real. Now their friendship and their lives are on the line. -- adapted from jacket
