After years of being an overachiever, Mara James has a breakdown during a calculus exam. A classmate records the incident and posts it online. It goes viral. Mara decides to leave her school and go live with her father in Tahoe to escape the embarrassment.
I understand Mara's drive for perfection. My own daughter has that same drive. I also can relate to Mara personally. Her struggle with everyone knowing her personal business and talking about her. It reminded me of when my father's private plane crashed and it was all over the news.
