What is the plot of 'Cindy la Regia: The High School Years'?

Pretty much like every high school comedy out there 'Cindy la Regia' revolves around an angsty teenager railing against tradition. In this case it's Cindy from San Pedro Garza García who is off to a co-ed school for the very first time. This opens up her world far more than she could imagine and has her asking all those questions parents dread. But Cindy isn't just your ordinary high-schooler, filled with dreams and aspirations she wants to be so much more than her school, but can she navigate high school politics and familial tradition?
