Set in a god-fearing small town in 1960s Oklahoma, To the Stars follows the story of a bespectacled and reclusive teen named Iris (Kara Hayward) who endures the booze-induced antics of her mother (Jordana Spiro) and daily doses of bullying from her classmates. She finds solace in Maggie (Liana Liberato), the charismatic new girl at school, who hones in on Iris’s untapped potential and coaxes her out of her shell.
But when Maggie’s mysterious past can no longer be suppressed, the tiny community is thrown into a state of panic, leaving Maggie to take potentially drastic measures and inciting Iris to stand up for her friend and herself.
