In her new high school, Maya flourishes among genuine companions and catches the eye of an empathetic athlete who treats her with profound respect. Together, they uncover the unedited security footage that proves her innocence, wrecking Sloane's reputation back home. Now that Maya thrives on her own terms, a guilt-ridden Jake comes groveling, but her heart has already moved on.
