The Plain Janes #[nn]

Main Jane, recovering from a terrorist bombing that left her scarred and shaken, finds unexpected connection in a new suburban high school when she discovers three other girls named Jane. Together, they form the secret art collective P.L.A.I.N.—People Loving Art In Neighborhoods—turning the town into a canvas to survive the chaos of adolescence. But when a long-lost nameless victim from the bombing awakens across the world, their carefully painted rebellion takes on a deeper, more urgent meaning.

In "Janes in Love," the Plain Janes navigate heartbreak and hope as Main Jane grapples with her mother’s retreat after Damon’s arrest, while Drama Jane’s city dreams fall short. Amid letters from Poland and the quiet promise of a shared prom, the girls channel their passion into a bold, defiant celebration that finally earns their community’s recognition—just as the grant they’ve fought for arrives.

In "Jane's Attack Back," Main Jane returns from a summer in France, where she helped Gita teach art, only to find her friends at home drifting apart as senior year unfolds. When new student Payne begins secretly sabotaging the group’s work, accusing it of being too institutional, tensions rise—especially when Officer Sanchez suspects PLAIN of breaking agreements. As the city threatens to bulldoze the art park, Jane must confront her past during a lockdown drill and find a way to stand together with her peers, discovering strength in both resistance and collaboration.
