Ms. Johnson, who supervises a group of flunkies, selects three girls to interview for a memoir about the challenges students encounter their first two years at an all- girls military boarding school. Three unlikely friends: Carla, Starr, and Darlene find themselves singled out and bullied almost every day by authoritative Staff Sergeant Neil. Starr McKenzie, is the first student tormented by Neil and his group of enablers. Starr is coerced into reading her sacred, emotional poetry and private letters from friends and family out loud.

Darlene wakes up early every morning to help Starr pass locker inspections each week, hopeful her new bestie will receive a passing grade. Darlene's plans to marry Neil and buy a house together after graduating college become an impossibility when Darlene learns that the love of her life is accused of a serious crime. Neil plots revenge on all of his enemies -in a series of parodies Starr writes about ways of making it out of military school alive.
