Imperfect High is Lifetime’s newest flick that deals with the harsh realities of substance abuse among teenagers. The upcoming movie is a sequel to the 2015 hit drama, Perfect High.

Set in Lakewood High School, Imperfect High will revolve around a new girl in town and her struggle with anxiety and drugs.

The official synopsis reads:

“Hanna Brooks is the new girl in town who is looking to find her place and fit in at Lakewood High School, which was rocked a couple of years earlier by the shocking drug overdose of a popular student. Hanna suffers from an anxiety disorder and the move to a new school is especially stressful for her. While trying to fit in with the “it” crowd, she finds herself pulled between two boys–a bad boy with a heart of gold, and an alluring, popular rich kid who is not as straight of an arrow as he seems. Her relationship with them sweeps her into a dangerous situation that her mother Deborah (Sherri Shepherd) must fight to save her from.”

The film will see Nia Sioux playing the role of the new teenager, Hanna Brooks, in town who comes with a lot of baggage. In Imperfect High, she has to choose the right guy while dealing with anxiety. Will she succeed in making the correct choice? Only time will tell.
