As they plan parties, run campaigns for student office, apply to college, and gear up for the big horse show, Lisa, Carole, and Stevie have to deal with family issues, boyfriend troubles, a new girl in town, a shocking betrayal, one near-fatal accident, and secrets that will test the limits of their friendship.
