So when she fails to get her dream internship, she comes to the conclusion that it's because she's a girl.

To remedy the situation, she decides to enroll at a rival high school, dressed up as a boy. After fending off a bully (William Zabka) and a "girlfriend", she manages to be accepted as one of the guys. But then she meets Rick (Clayton Rohner), a gold-hearted nerd. After walking him through an image makeover, she falls for him.

When Rick is taken aback by Terri's revelation of her romantic feelings for him, she bares her breasts to him at the prom to prove she is a woman.
