Najstnica Olive Penderghast si tako kot vse njene vrstnice želi biti priljubljena. V ta namen si izmisli vročo zgodbico o tem, kako je preživela konec tedna, njena nedolžna laž pa ji kmalu prinese cel kup težav. Ko za njeno domnevno seksi izkušnjo izve verna in jezikava Marianne, je kmalu cela šola prepričana, da je Olive lahka pohotnica, njen sloves pa hitro pride na ušesa tudi njenemu učitelju angleščine in njegovi ženi, ki je šolska svetovalka. Olive se zato odloči, da bo svojo na novo pridobljeno pozornost izkoristila v svoj prid. Toda posledice niso nujno pozitivne.
