Perfect High is a 2015 drama film produced by Lifetime and starring Bella Thorne, Daniella Bobadilla, Israel Broussard, and Ross Butler. The film premiered June 27, 2015 on Lifetime.
A young girl named Amanda is obsessed with dance. She dislocates her knee during a school pep rally dance performance. She is rushed to a hospital where she is given the drug Hydrocodone for pain. Upon returning to school, she is later approached by Riley, who asks her to share one of her pills with her. Amanda is suspicious, but gives her one anyways.
Later that week, Amanda starts dancing again, which makes Alexis a little jealous. While Amanda is waiting outside the school, Riley introduces Amanda to her boyfriend, Nate, and her brother, Carson. Amanda ends up hanging out with the group. Although Amanda is hesitant at first, they convince her to share her prescription meds with them.
Amanda ends up injuring her knee again and is given a renewed prescription of Hydrocodone. Amanda is upset when she sees Carson and Bridget together at school again. She begins spending more time with Riley who persuades her to go for Carson. While at an old lady's garage sale, they go into her house to use the bathroom and steal some Oxycodone from her room and run out. While under the influence of the drugs, Carson and Amanda kiss and begin to spend more time together all the while Amanda's tolerance for the Hydrocodone grows as she is shown taking the pills often. Unfortunately after her prescription runs out, she begins to feel sluggish and vomits due to withdrawal.
Amanda ignores Carson's attempts to contact her until her birthday, where he approaches her while making an homage to her favorite movie, Say Anything..., and presents a slideshow of them together in an attempt to have her forgive him. Amanda is still very angry with him, but forgives him. Rick the dealer brings them drugs from Mexico to snort, claiming that it's cheap Oxycontin. They snort the drugs and Amanda gets so high that she is slurring. She proceeds to black out, only regaining consciousness on her drive home when she almost crashes her car. She is later at Riley and Carson's house snorting the drug when they suddenly find out that they've actually been snorting heroin. Riley, just brushes it off, and Amanda makes Carson promise not to do it again. She again suffers from withdrawals.
