Warning: The following may contain plot or ending details.


From there, the movie loosely follows several early episodes from the television series, including "Esteemsters," "The Invitation," "The Lab Brat," and "Road Worrier." Daria meets Jane in a self-esteem class and quickly becomes enamored of her brother, Trent. She and Trent grow closer at Brittany's party, but Quinn (who has designs on Trent herself), does everything in her power to keep them apart, creating conflict after conflict. After the Fashion Club sabotages Daria and Mystik Spiral at the school talent show, Daria rebounds by reciting a Melody Powers story, beating Quinn's "Academic Imprisonment" essay to win first prize. Finally, Sandi ups the stakes: Quinn can be Fashion Club president if she successfully breaks up Daria and Trent. Quinn arranges for Upchuck to blackmail Daria into a date at Chez Pierre, where Trent catches her. They break up, and Daria gets revenge by dressing and acting like Quinn, stealing her boyfriends, and spreading vicious rumors intended to wreck her reputation.

Daria gets in a fight with Jane over her break up with Trent, only to receive a ghostly visit from her mother, who advises her on how they can get back together. Daria decides to use a reporter's visit to Lawndale High (for her "My So-Called Angst" essay) to make amends with Jane and Trent while exposing the "mean girls" underside of the school. Every bad thing Sandi and Quinn have ever done is dug up and exposed, destroying them both. Realizing that Daria was just a victim of Quinn's scheme, Trent forgives her for being with Upchuck.
