High School
A story about finding your own identity—a journey made even more complicated when you have a twin whose own struggle and self-discovery so closely mimics your own. Told through a backdrop of ‘90s grunge and rave culture, the series weaves between parallel and discordant memories of sisters growing up down the hall from one another. Based on the autobiographical book High School by musicians Tegan and Sara.

Tensions are high between sisters Tegan and Sara on their first day at a new school. Their relationship became fractured over the summer because Tegan felt cast aside by Sara and their shared best friend Phoebe.

2. Shock To Your System
While Sara continues to withdraw from her family, especially her mom, she and Tegan make headway with friends at their new school and are invited to a party. But as Tegan begins to make friends of her own, Sara starts to realize how important Tegan is to her.
3. Hang On to the Night
As Tegan becomes closer to Maya, she gains more perspective on her relationship with Sara.
