[edit] Plot
Even though they go to the same school, misfits Solomon (a reporter for the school paper trying to put in more controversial stories), Diwata (a drama-queen blogger who hates her drama teacher for never giving her a part in her school musical) and Howie (an openly gay teen) have never met. But when a shocking scandal involving one of their teachers brings them together through an unexpected chain of events, they realize three voices are stronger than one. And since their school has no speech and debate squad, maybe this is their chance to be heard at last – by the school and even the world.
