It is spring break for the students of Degrassi. Drew breaks curfew to attend a Keke Palmer concert with his girlfriend, Bianca. There she meets an ex-boyfriend, who is involved in a gang, and he takes her to an alley. Drew catches him trying to rape Bianca, and in the ensuing altercation, Bianca knocks him out, and loses her bracelet. Sav meets Palmer on the street, not knowing it is her, and she invites him to the concert, and then on stage with her. Fiona's vacation plans are scrubbed, and she instead attends an art class with Holly J., where she asks out the model.
Like its predecessors, Degrassi follows a group of students attending Degrassi Community School who face challenges common to teen life, such as self image, peer pressure, child abuse, sexual identity, gang violence, self-injury, school shootings, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse.
Degrassi (previously titled The Next Generation) is the fourth fictional series in the Degrassi franchise, following The Kids of Degrassi Street, Degrassi Junior High, and Degrassi High.
