"On Saturday, August 9, 2025, five alumni from the fictional Lowe Barr High School in Gary, Indiana, attend their ten-year high school reunion. Tia, Nate, Cherry, Jade, and Saint gather in the cafeteria for school memorabilia, presented by their stringent English teacher-turned-principal, Eli Washington when the faulty cafeteria door locks them in. While an irate Principal Washington waits for the maintenance man to arrive, the five classmates from different social classes are reluctant to entertain one another. Barely crossing paths in high school, the sudden lock-in forces the once jock, nerd, popular girl, teen mom, and delinquent to interact. After a decade of tensions, old beefs resurface, secrets are exposed, and tears are shed as the five pass time, realizing they aren’t as dissimilar as their statuses projected."
Executive producers include Bree and Chuck West, Lil Rel Howery. Chazitear also serves as a producer.
