It's 1986, a time when an anxious teen had to wait for outcomes and answers... Like every teenaged girl, Serena Dunson has expectations, inhibitions, goals, and fantasy-like plans - especially when it comes to boys. She's got her first dance and Justin Davis in her sights, but Todd Jackson forever clouds her view. Add her little brother Joey's antics, her next-door neighbor's secret missions, a dash of Mom, plus her homegirls, Morgan and India, and Serena has enough questions to last a lifetime. After a few fiascos, answers inch toward her but what she discovers once they reach her will either shake her or shape her.
