Ellie goes to her first day at a new school with her mother's homemade curry for lunch. Unaware of the reaction her neighbor, Theo, and his friend Nick would have, Ellie finds herself the target of ignorant jokes. In an effort to stop the bullying, she lies, and steals until the situation reaches a breaking point with her mom. Feeling stuck, Ellie learns the true value of being yourself.
