Danielle (Julie Benz) is the leader of a clique of arrogant, mean high school girls; she and her rich friends Tiffany (Nicole Bilderback) and Brooke (Monica Keena) care only about their pampered selves (although Brooke has periodic misgivings). No one really hangs out with them except a dumb jock named Gavin, and the class nerd Jonathan, and poor Danielle is getting nowhere with the popular guy Drew (Jonathon Brandis), even after she and friends accidentally killed his last girlfriend. It’s been a year, and Drew still ignores her - but he doesn’t ignore the new foreign exchange student Katarina (Suzanna Urszuly). Since Katarina can’t take a hint, Danielle begins plotting her downfall. But there’s a slight problem: Danielle and her friends begin experiencing a level of high weirdness in which all three of them rapidly age. This serves to make Danielle more desperate than ever.
