Middle school isn't rocket science.

In an attempt to make the most of their limited fun during the summer of the Covid-19 lockdown, a science nerd and her boy-crazy best friend decide to build a spaceship to escape the quarantine before the summer ends and they start at different highschools, but as the lift-off draws near, they find that building a rocket may prove easier than maintaining their friendship.
