ALTHOUGH

High school senior AMANDA LEON is the middle child with TWO OLDER BROTHERS and TWO YOUNGER SISTERS in a family where both her MOTHER and FATHER are highly sought-after business leaders in the community. Amanda's identity to this point has been the voice-of-reason peacemaker able to calm the fractious sibling rivalries and even marital tensions as spokesperson for the household, but when always-able-to-see-the-bright-side Amanda falls in love with TUCKER, a notorious bad boy who has already loved and dumped Amanda's TWO BEST FRIENDS, she is forced to abandon her role as conciliator and, for the first time, take "me-first" action guaranteed to cause someone else pain.
