Plot

Elodie (Brianna Hildebrand), Moe (Kiana Madeira), and Tabitha (Quintessa Swindell) become friends after finding each other at a Shoplifters Anonymous meeting.[4] The characters have different personalities and personas in school, keeping their friendship a secret: Elodie is an introvert; Moe favors punk style; while Tabitha comes from a wealthy family.[4] They form a deep bond after finding out that they all have a shoplifting habit.[5] Each also finds in the others strength as they navigate their own problems such as family and school issues.
