What university does Honor Rose dream of attending?
Honor Rose, a determined high school senior at George H. W. Bush High School, is fixated on achieving her dream of attending Harvard University as a means to escape her mundane middle-class life. To increase her chances, she sets her sights on obtaining a letter of recommendation from her guidance counselor, Mr. Calvin, whose ambitions as a musician are overshadowed by his unreciprocated feelings for Honor.
Mr. Calvin contemplates recommending four promising students: Travis Biggins, the star athlete; Kennedy Park, a creative introvert; Michael Dipnicky, a socially awkward yet academically adept student; and Honor herself. Aware of the competition, Honor devises a plan to eliminate her rivals, enlisting the help of her “fake” friends Emma and Talia.
Her strategy unfolds when she joins the school theatre club and persuades them to produce Kennedy’s play about Mary I of England, aiming to distract Kennedy and hinder her academic performance. Honor also encourages Travis to participate in the play, seeking to tarnish his athletic image while nudging him toward his crush, one of the cast members.
As Honor sets her sights on Michael, believing him to be overly shy around girls, she becomes his lab partner and feigns interest in him, all while accepting his digital friend requests. An intimate study session at her home takes an unexpected turn; instead of dominating the interaction with flirty tactics, Honor finds herself drawn to Michael’s kindness and their shared love for The Handmaid’s Tale.
Their connection grows, but Honor soon learns of Michael’s challenging situation in foster care, making her more empathetic. A stolen kiss in a lavish mansion marks a turning point in their relationship, but as she spends time with Kennedy and Travis, she begins to genuinely appreciate their friendship. However, Mr. Calvin’s behavior becomes increasingly alarming as he pressures Honor for favors in exchange for the coveted Harvard recommendation, a proposition she firmly rejects.
Caught in a whirlwind of emotions, Honor ultimately chooses to endorse Michael for the recommendation, moved by his struggles and their bond. Yet, when Michael reaches out to her during lunch and reveals he’s been living in a luxurious mansion, her world shatters. It turns out his affections may have been part of a scheme to exploit her goodwill for personal gain, leading her to end their relationship in a flurry of heartbreak.
In the wake of this betrayal, Kennedy’s play flourishes, with Honor playing a crucial role in helping her and Travis embrace their true selves. To finalize her plan for the recommendation, Honor uncovers evidence of Mr. Calvin’s inappropriate advances, which she uses to manipulate him into endorsing Kennedy instead of Michael.
Having achieved her goal, Honor decides to relish the final moments of her senior year, uncertain of her academic future but grateful for the authentic connections she has formed and the joy she has rediscovered in life.
