Losing weight, bad substances, boys, grades? While Callie is a bratty teen, her sister Savvy, is not in perfect condition either. Savvy moved from New Mexico to Rhode Island and is having a hard time making friends. She made the 18s basketball team and basketball is not making it any easier to make friends.
