Harder for an A+

Holly misses her boyfriend, who moved to another city for a sports scholarship, so much that she can't concentrate on her studies. Since her stepdad, Mike just lost his job, and they can't afford for Holly to fail her exams and lose her scholarship, so he decides to help her with "special incentives" that her boyfriend used to give her to help her focus. As each new attempt positively impacts Holly’s studying habits, Mike gets more and more creative with the incentives, pushing her daughter to ace her exams and retribute his stepfather’s efforts.
