Prom Pact File

The story follows Mandy Yang (Peyton Elizabeth Lee), a fiercely intelligent and cynical high school senior whose only goal in life is to attend Harvard.

The film follows Mandy Yang (Peyton Elizabeth Lee), a driven high school senior laser-focused on securing a place at Harvard University. While her peers are swept up in the excitement of prom season, Mandy scoffs at the over-the-top “promposals” and the pressure to conform. Her world is upended when she is placed on Harvard’s waitlist. Desperate for a way in, she makes a pact with her best friend Ben (Milo Manheim): they will go to prom together. The arrangement, initially a joke and a form of protection from high school's social pressures, turns serious when Mandy concocts a plan to secure a letter of recommendation from the father of the school’s golden boy, Graham Lansing (Blake Draper).

Mandy and Ben, lifelong outsiders, make a "Prom Pact" to attend the dance together to avoid the social drama of "promposals". However, the pact is tested when Mandy begins tutoring Graham Lansing. While her initial motive is manipulative (seeking a Harvard connection), she discovers that Graham is more than a "privileged Neanderthal". Key Plot Developments
