More than two decades after dropping out of school, Alice Washington (Cybill Shepherd, Moonlighting) rebounds from a divorce by enrolling in Smith College to fulfill her dream of becoming a teacher. A housing shortage places her with a much younger roommate, rebellious piano student Zoe (Corri English, lead singer of BrokeDown Cadillac), who thinks she has enough difficulty in her life already.

Their school year together promises lots of major life changes including a glamorous makeover, a romantic rivalry over their charming poetry teacher (Jeffrey Nordling, Desperate Housewives), and Alice’s surprise starring role on the school’s basketball team! Along the way they both get a valuable education neither of them could have possibly expected. As seen on the Hallmark Channel, this winning story of friendship, the power of perseverance, and the beauty of self-discovery graduates with top honors in entertainment!
