Despite their mistreatment, Sam dreams of attending Princeton University and escaping her miserable life. One day, Sam meets a mysterious boy named Austin online and they agree to meet at the school's Halloween dance. However, when Sam arrives at the dance, she discovers that Austin is none other than the most popular boy in school. Panicked, she flees the scene and accidentally leaves behind her cell phone. Determined to find his mysterious internet friend, Austin sets out on a mission to track down Sam. Meanwhile, Fiona has other plans for her stepdaughter's future and forces her to work at their family diner instead of going to college.
