Dylan?? and Kristen are completely obsessed by high fashion and being the most popular girls in the exclusive Octavian Country Day School for girls. Florida transplant Claire Lyons (Ellen Marlow) is the ultimate in fashion don'ts and when she moves into Massie's guest house and enrolls in her school?? it quickly becomes apparent that Massie will stop at nothing to prove her own superiority and make Claire's life miserable. Claire wants nothing more than to fit in and be accepted at her new school?? so when befriending Massie doesn't work?? she turns to scheming and playing the four friends against one another in an effort to supersede Massie as the queen of popularity. The pr"is?? Claire's efforts to displace Massie have some very negative effects on Alicia?? Dylan?? Kristen?? her relationship with her mother?? and even Claire's ability to like herself.
