What is bright 15-year-old Shelby Knox to do when confronted by the reality that abstinence can't solve all the problems of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases -- especially in Lubbock, Texas, which has some of the country's highest incidences of both? The answer: She and her fellow students try to get sex education taught in city schools, which leads to clashes between Shelby and her conservative family, as her personal politics gradually diverge from those she grew up with.
