This is a small, quirky but interesting movie.
Eileen April Boylan is Dakota Skye, a senior in high school in Phoenix. As she describes in the opening voice-over, she has a super power, but not the typical type. She isn't extra strong, she can't fly, and a bullet would surely kill her. But she can tell when people are lying and what they really mean. As we see her friends say things to her, white subtitles tell us what they really mean.
Her boyfriend is J.B. Ghuman Jr. as Kevin. Kevin is a singer in a grunge band and tells Dakota "I love you" but the subtitles tell us he means "I want sex." Dakota seems stuck at a crossroads, her friends are all studying for the SAT but she doesn't know what she wants to do.
Things get complicated when Ian Nelson as Jonah Moreno shows up in town. He is an old friend of Kevin's, in fact used to be in the band, but now lives in New York and hopes to make it as an actor.
Jonah is different in one very important way. He never lies to Dakota. She finds that interesting, even tries to surprise him with a tough question, but he is honest with her. This is a first in her life and she doesn't quite know how to handle it.
A different movie, I enjoyed it.
SPOILERS: Dakota finally started getting tired of Kevin's antics and ended up spending a 24-hour time with Jonah when they ended up at the Grand Canyon at daybreak, probably a 5-hour, 250 mile trip. They developed a chemistry, but Dakota was stuck, not knowing what to do. Jonah left for NY, eventually Dakota abandoned the relationship she seemed stuck in and looked Jonah up in NY.
