Set: Interior of a guidance office.

High school sophomore Sandra Malcher is called into her guidance office where her parents, teacher, and boyfriend act out scenarios in which she failed herself -- quitting soccer, failing a Shakespeare assignment, resisting intimacy, and breaking curfew. Each person insists on bringing in another Sandra "option" with them -- a girl that looks like Sandra and replays the scene behaving perfectly. Enter the CEO of NYE (New You Enterprises), who informs Sandra that her loved ones don't want to change her; they want to replace her completely. A dark, comic exploration of teenage identity and perfection itself.
