  Melanie’s dad, James Porter, is the chief of police for a Chicago suburb.Incredibly security obsessed(困扰), he wants Melanie to attend nearby Northwestern University, where she’s already been accepted.But Melanie, 17, really wants to go to Georgetown in Washington, D.C., where she’s been wait-listed.

  When she gets an unexpected interview, she decides to take a road trip with a few close female friends.Melanie believes it is her first step towards adulthood.
