After driving without a license to see a musical, Riley is punished and made to work with her father. Her parents are divorced, and Riley thinks they are polar opposites. She is much more like her mother. Her dad, Joel, runs a board game shop. On her first shift, Riley meets Nathan. Although she has seen him at school, they have never spoken and do not hit it off. When more boys from her school and a girl from another school, Sophia, enter the shop to play Dungeons and Dragons, Riley glimpses into their strange world. She is uninterested in their game, preferring to pursue her passions and become a musical director. But when her ex-boyfriend, Paul, walks in with his new girlfriend, Riley accidentally suggests she is dating Nathan to save face. Nathan is not interested in this plan until Riley suggests that Sophia might show more interest in him if he is perceived as unavailable. To enact their plan, Riley joins their Dungeons and Dragons game as a singing bard called Elphaba. Meanwhile, the spring musical at school has been cancelled. As the friends work together to save it, will Riley and Nathan realise their feelings are more than pretend?
