Saundra is acting very strangely -- she wears her prom dress to school, stands up to a tyrannical teacher, hugs her younger brother, and even tries to join the boys' wrestling team. In a series of monologues, Saundra's friends and family open up about how her odd behavior has affected them, with reactions ranging from bafflement to anger, frustration to admiration. It's only after Saundra's sudden death that her motives are revealed, and everyone is left to ponder their own rare condition.
