Over FaceTime and Instagram Live, students from both schools struggle to navigate trauma and grief amidst group projects, student council meetings, and planning for prom. As their preconceptions about each other gradually begin to fade, surprising friendships begin to form, and everyone emerges transformed by the experience.
