Virtually Me

Using personalized avatars, a group of kids look for a fresh start in school when a virtual reality academy opens. Going to school is going to be a very different experience for Bradley, Hunter, Jasper, and Keiko--five unlikely friends who are all looking for second chances. A mysterious box arrives at each of their houses containing an invitation to attend a virtual school. More than just being an online school, they'll be able to create an avatar of themselves and interact with their friends and other classmates in real time using VR headsets. For each of them, that presents an opportunity to become someone they're not, or someone they haven't been. For Bradley, it's a chance to come out of a self-imposed shell. Edelle hopes everyone will see her for who she really is, not just for how she looks. Hunter is looking forward to pretending he's still the person he was last year. Jasper wants to get over past assumptions. And for Keiko, it'll allow her to disappear into the crowd. For all of them, it's a chance to see just how much they've assumed about each other in the past and maybe an opportunity to become friends.
