Plot
The core plot of My Alibi revolves around a group of students who are sent to the principal (played by Gabrielle Carteris) after a large prank is pulled during the first period of school. All five students were late that day, and are locked in a room together until one of them steps forward and confesses. While they are together, each student relates the story of what they had done that morning along with other related events in their lives, often containing ludicrous twists.
