THE NEVER LIST was compiled over the years by Eva (Fivel Stewart) and her longtime best friend Liz (Brenna D'Amico), a catalog of daring and outrageous acts that they, great students and well-behaved teens, would never do but that Vicki and Veronica, their cartoon alter-egos, would. When Liz dies in a car crash and leaves the grieving Eva behind, Eva implausibly decides that ticking every item off the list, no matter how self-destructive or hurtful to others, will honor her friend. She steals a car, smokes marijuana, bakes it into brownies, and sells them. She sneaks out her bedroom window to see a boy. She lies to a good friend. She gets a tattoo and then fails to study, resulting in a low grade on a test. She drugs the boy running against her for class president, which results in his school-wide humiliation. She feels bad about all the damage she does, but nevertheless continues to behave insensitively. Suddenly, although she has felt bad about her actions from the start, she publicly admits her wrongdoing and seems to be back to her old, normal, high-achieving self.
