A NEW DAWN AND A NEW DAY BESETS THE CONCRETE STONES OF HAMILTON ACADEMY

It is the eve of September and a new student has arrived at Hamilton. Anita Deveraux, an aspiring singer-songwriter from Louisiana, has set foot in New York City. Trying to find her place in the world, she joins in with Gwen Stevenson and her friends. They soon become enraptured by her natural vocal abilities and wistful tales of her hometown down south. Meanwhile, Gwen is still having an identity crisis. Worst yet, it's only a few weeks until her sixteenth birthday. She soon realizes that life is about taking risks, so she decides to finally fulfill her transformation by gaining a new sense of style. Gwen's childhood friends have other plans. Maxine is organizing a party to impress popular senior Rain Bosworth while setting her sights on the newly single Chace Fairbanks. Mona Margulies and her new gal pal suddenly break the barriers of the friend zone, which brings back what she lost in the past. Kyle Durmsdale is enjoying the perks of being a newly ordained honor society secretary by wooing the new president Jared Milton, but, unbeknownst to her, there is a certain someone who wants to take Bianca Walworth's empty nest. Upon getting prepared for the Annual Short Film Contest, Vera Hudgens is confident with her finished project and her new beau but Vera's new boyfriend may not be as honest as he seems, and when the truth comes out, it goes into a suspension of disbelief. Maxine's new BFF Shawnie Jenkins faces a dilemma in her love life. Being duped by who she thought was her Prince Charming, Shawnie vows to take revenge upon Blake Kingston...by making him jealous, of course. But as she rekindles with an old flame, those familiar feelings makes the lessons of the past come back to the present...

For the girls at Hamilton Academy, change is a one-way street...
