Twelve-year-old Chloe does not fit in at her “posh” all-girls school or at home with her withdrawn father, social-climbing mother, and sickeningly perfect sister. Her proposed policies include deporting litterbugs, removing benefits for the unemployed and permitting video games only within the times of 4 PM and 4:01 PM.
