Instead of a fun time, things went terribly wrong and after failing her year at school, her desperate parents gave her a choice: Go to rural Texas to her aunt's camp, go to boarding school, or lose her college funds. Kicking and screaming, she ends up with her aunt, only to discover she'll be a counselor for troubled younger teens.
