After getting caught in the midst of a terrorist attack on Metro
City, artsy misfit Jane Beckles is forced to leave her beloved

Jane thinks her life is over but then she finds where she belongs:
at the reject table in the cafeteria, along with Brain Jayne,
Theatre Jane and sporty Polly Jane. United by only two things - a
shared name and an all-too-relateable frustration with the adults
around them--the girls form P.L.A.I.N., aka People Loving Art In
Neighbourhoods, a secret club dedicated to waking up their fellow
citizens with guerrilla works of art scattered around town. But for
Main Jane, the resident new girl and ringleader of P.L.A.I.N., the
group is more than just a simple act of teenage rebellion, it's an
act of survival. She's determined not to let fear rule her life
like it does her parents' and neighbours'. Armed with her
sketchbook and a mission of resistance, she's out to prove that
true passion and a group of good friends can save anyone from the
hell that is high school.
