A 15-year-old freshman with a history of misdiagnosed mental health issues and prescription drug dependency. She rejects suburban values and her brother's music by adopting the provocative "Bri Da B" gangsta rapper persona.

A high school senior determined to form a grunge-inspired alternative rock band. He views a local "battle of the bands" contest as his ticket to a record deal.
