Film Synopsis:
In the closed world of an elite Pennsylvania boarding school, Haldwell, the student body is
run by five factions. Seventeen-year-old Selah Summers (Lovie Simone) runs the most
dominant group, the Spades, with unshakable poise, as they cater to the most classic of
vices and supply students with coveted, illegal alcohol and pills. Tensions between the
factions escalate, and when Selah’s best friend/right hand Maxxie (MOONLIGHT’s Jharrel
Jerome) becomes distracted by a new love, Selah takes on a protégée, enamored
sophomore Paloma (Celeste O’Connor), to whom she imparts her wisdom on ruling the
school. But with graduation looming and Paloma proving an impressively quick study,
Selah’s fears turn sinister as she grapples with losing the control by which she defines herself.
