Young Adult is a comedy-drama about a woman returning home in order to relive her high school glory years. Mavis is a cynical, successful writer of teenage fiction who returns to her small home town to win back her high school crush: Buddy, now happily married and with kids. Buddy isn't particularly willing though, and having been roundly despised at school, Mavis doesn't find support with her old chums and the plans go awry. But she manages to get assistance from one former classmate who hasn't quite gotten over his high school years either.
