An unpopular 15-year-old gains immediate, yet unwanted, popularity at her high school when the student body mistakes an accident she has for a suicide attempt.

"Awkward" is about the specific incidents in our formative years that define us, sometimes for the best and sometimes for the worst. The show centers around 15-year-old Jenna Hamilton, who, like many, feels invisible to her peers and desperately wants to find her place--which is hard to do in a day and age where fitting in means standing out. Unfortunately, Jenna's visibility comes on the heels of an accident that gives her a not-so-fun stigma that could be the curse of her life, but she is determined to make it her life's blessing.—Lauren Iungerich
