The girls of Delta Nu.
Warner (Jake McInerney) takes out Elle (Callie Syverson) to break up
with her before going to Harvard Law School.
When Elle goes to Harvard Law herself, she brings
one friend, Bruiser, but soon makes more.
Once in the class of Professor Callahan (Robb Krueger), however, she quickly
discovers who her friends really are.
That includes Emmet Forrest (Sam Stoll).
It also includes Paulette (Emily Jansen) who is doing some
personal growth of her own, such as with Kyle (Josh Ardolf) the UPS guy.
Of course Paulette has some baggage (Devin Basart) to get rid of first.
All is made better with a new wardrobe...
...and a defendent, Brooke Wyndham (Bridgette Karl) to prove innocent.
And a courtroom with a shady witness, Chutney (Jaclyn Juola)
and a judge (Natavia Lewis), who is easily won over.
Which leads to a very happy ending. Oh my god!
Warner and Elle talk about the production in this video interview.
