MTV, however, announces on Jackass...

...Sara, an aspiring dancer who, after a family tragedy, transfers from her comfortable suburban school to a mostly minority school in the inner city. Once there, she encounters Derek (played by Sean Patrick Thomas, previously seen in "Cruel Intentions"), a black student at her new school, and the two butt heads over romance and race...
