When Orlando strides in as the new kid at Arden High, Ross falls for him
in an instant. A brain, a beauty, a jock, a rebel and a recluse,
Orlando is the Breakfast Club all rolled up into one, Ross’s perfect
man. Unfortunately, when they meet at the football try-outs, Ross is in
drag to spite his draconian dad, Coach Fredericks, and it’s “Rosalind”
that Orlando falls head-over-heels in love with.
With a misunderstanding when Ross tries to come
clean, and a little mischief on the part of Touchstone, Ross's joker friend, soon the two are caught up in a crazy game, with Ross
roleplaying "Rosalind" so Orlando can practice his romance, and Orlando
still convinced that somewhere out there a real "Rosalind" is waiting to be found.
As Orlando
searches for his true love, and Ross is torn between truth and fantasy,
mixed signals and mixed feelings abound in this contemporary retelling
of As You Like It--re-envisioned as a screenplay for a high school
movie--until Ross, Orlando and everyone around them must ask the crucial
question: just what is it that you want?
