Josie Geller (Drew Barrymore) wants more out of life. As a bright twenty-five-year-old copy editor at Chicago’s revered newspaper, the Chicago Sun-Times, she yearns to be a reporter. Josie is skilled at her profession, but completely clueless in her personal life. She was a brainy nerd in high school, a geek to the core — kids called her "Josie Grossie" — and she has never had a serious relationship with a man.

Josie has never, she laments, been really kissed.

But things are about to change for Josie — in ways she could never have imagined — when her dream to become a reporter becomes a reality. But her first assignment couldn’t be more nightmarish: she must go undercover at a local high school to report on today’s teenagers. Now, eight years senior to the oldest pupil in the class, Josie must figure out her story — and a potential new love — while reliving her horrific adolescence and negotiating high school’s social and emotional land mines.
