Marley couldn't be happier when shy, handsome Jeff finally asks her out. But disaster strikes when the Riverport High basketball team is left a large sum of money. The boy's team insists the money was meant for them alone; the girls' team thinks that it should be shared.

The school is split right down the middle - boys on one side, girls on the other. To force the issue, the girls declare a "romantic freeze". No dates, no kissing, no hand-holding until the boys give in.

Marley's new romance seems doomed, unless the two opposing camps can reach a compromise - and soon!
