Elaine "Ellie" Harrison has just moved from Minnesota to Annapolis, Maryland while her parents take a year-long sabbatical to continue their medieval studies in nearby Washington D.C. Her new high school, Avalon High, seems like a typical high school with the stereotypical students: Lance the jock, Jennifer the cheerleader, Marco, the bad boy/desperado, and Will, the senior class president, quarterback, and all around good guy. But not everyone at Avalon High is who they appear to be, not even Ellie herself. Eventually, it becomes apparent that Avalon High is a situation where the ancient Arthurian legend is repeating itself.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Meg Cabot's 2006 novel, but the movie swaps the protagonist's name from Ellie to Allie for no apparent reason.
This quietly launched the Disney Channel Original Movie era of 'what if classic literature but teens' that dominated 2010s YA adaptations.
