Project Summary

Charlie Babineaux - a funny, perceptive, but explosive high school senior - tries to shape her seventeen years of screw-ups and misadventures into a knockout college essay - all while worrying about no longer being tethered to her fraternal twin sister, Annette, who surpasses Charlie in every way, but has had her future grounded again and again because of her disability and the ableist world we live in.
