THE OTHER KIDS follows six teens as they struggle through their final days of high school in the small Gold Rush town of Sonora, CA. ISAAC, a Mexican national, barely treads water in a culture hostile to non-whites, while his girlfriend SIENNA tries to navigate the brutal dissolution of her family. Punky new kid CRICKET attempts to adjust to her strange new surroundings, aided by her co-conspirator ABBY, a smart but lonely tomboy torn between the country traditions of her parents and the allure of the broader world. Lacking the money or grades that might make higher education a possibility, JOE considers enlisting in the army. Meanwhile, his academically brilliant friend KAI wrestles with crippling depression and self-injury, retreating to his family's bathroom for almost daily cutting sessions. As graduation grows near, the kids are pushed to the edge of an emotional precipice. When safety nets prove illusory, it's up to each of them to find a way to save themselves - and each other.
