When Theo's photography project is mysteriously vandalized at school, there are five suspected students who all say "It wasn't me." Theo just wants to forget about the humiliating incident, but his favorite teacher is determined to get to the bottom of it and has the six of them come into school over vacation to talk. She calls it a Justice Circle. The six students⁠—the nerd, the athlete, the troublemaker, the artsy girl, the nobody, and Miss Perfect⁠—think of it as detention, aka their worst nightmare. That is, until they realize that they might get along after all, despite their differences. But what is everyone hiding, and will school ever be the same?
