## Synopsis

Shiri Ezogi (played by Chen Sabag) is a youthful looking 30-year-old unemployed actress. She often gets into trouble, repeatedly disappointing her friends despite her good intentions. Her young appearance prevents her from getting lead and desirable roles in adult theater and she makes a living primarily from small roles and children's plays. She is in a complicated relationship with Nimrod, another actor, who one day is caught for drug possession.
A man named Assaf runs a high school that provides therapy to abused children. Assaf is suspected of having an affair with a student who became hospitalized by drug abuse. The police need an undercover agent to infiltrate this high school, so the head of the detective team, Morris, offers Shiri a deal: he will release her partner from custody and in return she must infiltrate the high school as a student and find out what really happens at school.
