Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

Mary Elizabeth 'Lola' Cep, a spirited 15-year-old actress from New York City, expresses her fierce ambition. She boldly announces to everyone around her that a legend is about to be born, and that legend would be her.

Lola's family relocates to the picturesque suburb of Dellwood, New Jersey. This transition thrusts Lola into a new environment where she must navigate the challenges of fitting in and pursuing her dreams.

As Lola adjusts to her new high school, she develops a friendship with Ella Gerard, who shares her enthusiasm for the band Sidarthur. Meanwhile, she becomes intrigued by the charming Sam, adding complexity to her social life.

Lola encounters Carla Santini, the queen bee of the school, who starts making Lola's life difficult. The rivalry escalates as Carla feels threatened by Lola's budding popularity and ambition.

Lola auditions for the school play, a modern adaptation of *Pygmalion* titled *Eliza Rocks*. To everyone's surprise, she lands the lead role of Eliza, outshining Carla and setting the stage for a fierce competition.

Just as Lola begins to enjoy her success in the play, her mother cuts off her allowance, jeopardizing her plans to attend an important Sidarthur concert. Undeterred, she devises a plan to get tickets with the help of Ella.

Lola and Ella embark on a thrilling adventure to New York City in search of concert tickets. Their hopes take a hit when Lola accidentally leaves their ticket money on the train, adding to the drama of their night.

While wandering the streets of New York City, Lola and Ella unexpectedly come across Stu Wolff, the lead singer of Sidarthur, who is inebriated and collapsed in an alley. They seize the opportunity to help him, propelling their adventure to new heights.

In an effort to impress Ella, Lola fabricates a tale about her father's death, only for the truth to come out later. This revelation creates tension between them, forcing Lola to confront her lies and the consequences of deceit.

After confessing her lies, Lola swears to always be honest moving forward. This heartfelt admission earns her a second chance with Ella, who forgives her under the condition of unwavering integrity.

Lola faces escalating vengeance from Carla, who spreads rumors that tarnish Lola's reputation. Despite the negativity, Lola fights to share her side of the story but initially withdraws from participating in the play.

With encouragement from Ella, Lola ultimately returns just in time to perform in the school play. Her captivating portrayal of Eliza earns her a standing ovation, exemplifying her growth and resilience.

At Carla's after-party, a surprise visit from Stu reunites him with Lola, highlighting her journey from insecurity to confidence. Stu acknowledges Lola's talent and presents her with a necklace, exposing Carla's deceit.

Lola reaches out to a begrudging Carla, signaling a moment of growth for them both as Carla reluctantly accepts her defeat. This act of kindness bridges the gap created by rivalry and animosity.

The night culminates in a celebratory dance with Stu and a romantic moment shared with Sam. Lola's journey finishes on a high note, as she locks lips with Sam amid the joy of the evening.
