Middle-class, Indian American Tara feels like an outsider at her Connecticut private school. After scientists receive a radio transmission from an alternate Earth, the popular crew invites Tara into their ranks. While the "mirror planet" stirs up Tara's home life and provides her brief moments of contemplation about what her parallel-self might be up to, the otherworldly premise unfortunately takes a backseat to social drama.
