Wild Cherry

Helen McNicol, Tania Raymonde, a high school senior, finds herself at the center of a provocative game when she plans to lose her virginity to Stanford Prescott, her popular quarterback boyfriend Ryan Merriman. But a shocking revelation changes everything: her name is written in the school’s secret “Bang Book,” a whisper network that designates Stanford’s job to deflower her. Rather than submit to a cruel plan, she bands together with her two closest friends, Katlyn Chase Rumer Willis and Trish Van Doren Kristin Cavallari, and the trio forms a pact to guard their own virginities, humiliate the football crew, and foil the scheme that’s been quietly engineered against them.

What follows is a blend of wit, courage, and teenage resilience as the girls turn the tables on a system that tried to box them in. Helen’s bold move on the go-cart track, where she takes control and outmaneuvers Stanford, marks a turning point—she refuses to be the dutiful prize, and instead she asserts agency over her body and choices. With Katlyn and Trish backing her up, the trio engineers a clever plan that involves Stanford’s circle—the two friends who are also Katlyn’s and Trish’s boyfriends—leading to a series of awkward, unintended make-outs that complicate the college-bound schedules of everyone involved.

The drama intensifies at a party when someone slips a sex pill into the punch, triggering erections for Stanford and his friends. The incident sparks confusion, blame, and a reckoning among the core trio. Helen tries to make amends by visiting Stanford in the hospital to apologize, but he rejects her, telling her to leave. This heartbreak pushes her to seek guidance from her father, Nathan McNicol Rob Schneider, who reminds her that everyone makes mistakes and that the path forward is about learning and growth.

Armed with this newly gained perspective, Helen returns to the scene of the season’s most important game. She apologizes to Katlyn and Trish, and they forgive her. Stanford’s team begins to falter as the crowd rallies behind the tension and the fallout of the earlier scandal. At halftime, Helen takes the microphone and speaks with candor, explaining the missteps, urging forgiveness, and reframing the focus for the team. Her honesty helps Stanford forgive her, and together they steer the squad toward a comeback. The next match sees the team rising to the challenge, pulling off a hard-fought victory that lifts the spirits of everyone at the game and sets the tone for a new sense of teamwork and integrity.

The celebration that follows is marked by a sense of closure and a hint of something more. Helen and Stanford share a quiet, meaningful victory as they move toward a possible future together. When Helen returns home, she finds a final, intimate reminder of the day’s events: her father Nathan McNicol, with a playful trombone in hand, sits on a closed toilet and plays a tune that echoes through the room, a small, humorous ending to a day that tested friendships, love, and personal choice.
