We meet the Stratford sisters, Kat and Bianca, two very different people with very different views in life. They start at a new high school Padua High School with one thing in common, they both know strategy is the key. Kat wants to save the world and get out of high school as fast as she can, while Bianca wants to climb the ladder of high school popularity as fast as possible. Can each sister find happiness after getting off to a very rocky start?

Bianca's determination to get to a party with some of the coolest kids in school leads her to turn for help to Cameron who, of course, is perfectly willing to do whatever she needs. But it also could get her in trouble with her dad, who has forbidden her from attending the party.
