Carlos Nunez (Jay Hernandez), a talented Latino football player from East L.A., attends Pacific Palisades High School on a scholarship. He meets Nicole Oakley (Kirsten Dunst), a wealthy, rebellious student who becomes infatuated with him.

Their relationship deepens, but it faces opposition from Nicole's influential father, Congressman Oakley (Bruce Davison). The couple struggles to maintain their love amidst disapproval and social differences.
