ABC AFTERSCHOOL SPECIAL: HIGH SCHOOL NARC (TV)

Summary

One in this series of dramas intended for young audiences. In this drama, a young police officer, Andrew, goes undercover as a high school student in order to learn the name of the dealer supplying illegal drugs to minors. He manages to gain acceptance from a group of students who use drugs heavily. Complications ensue when one of the students, Judy, develops a crush on him and Billy, the major drug supplier of the school, starts to suspect that Andrew is a "narc." Andrew also starts to feel guilty about the fact that he is going to have to betray the trust of his newfound friends and eventually arrest them. Through Billy, he sets up a drug deal with the man he is after, but things go awry and Andrew never catches sight of the dealer. Billy, Judy, and another student are arrested and Andrew finds that the only hope of getting the name of the dealer is by getting Judy to tell it to him, but she no longer trusts him. Includes commercials and promos.
