Synopsis:
Gretchen is the story of an awkward girls struggle to overcome an obsession with Boone High Schools most powerful dirt-bag, Ricky Maraschino. Her affliction is so severe, she's banished to an emotional treatment center, where she begins to question why everything that she wants in the whole wide world, is a boy. Gretchen is an extreme tale of ordinary things: Prom, boys, and going 2nd base, told with the unique gravity of a 17-year-old heart.
