'Rule Number One: Boys are only after one thing!' warns Grace's mother as she gets ready for her first date. Grace (Danielle Panabaker) sets out to prove her mother wrong, using her high school media class assignment to tackle the subject of Rule Number One. Followed by her trusty cameraman Brent (Matt Spangler), Grace embarks on a coming of age journey that throws her life into turmoil. The focus of Grace's project thrusts her relationship into the cross-hairs and exposes her boyfriend as everything her mother warned her about. Shattered by the truth Grace perseveres, finishes her project, and finds romance in an unexpected place. This teen comedy explores the lives of high school students and their perceptions of gender dynamics in the dating world.

- Began as a project conceived by David Presley and Danielle Panabaker while filming the HBO miniseries Empire Falls.

- Background: The concept and the title of the pilot was originally developed on the set of the HBO film Empire Falls, on which David Presley worked as a member of the crew.  After a group of high-school boys were ogling Danielle Panabaker, Presely overheard the young actress’s mother say to her, “Remember—rule number one: boys only want one thing.”  Eventually, the incident became a running joke on the set, and it led Presley to write a script centered around this piece of maternal wisdom.
