The Stratford sisters are new to Padua High. Bianca is a social-butterfly determined to climb the heights of popularity, at any cost. Kat is an in-your-face feminist who is looking to save the world and get out of high school as fast as she can. But the sisters soon realize it's never smooth sailing when you're navigating through a world filled with duplicitous head cheerleaders, nerds, and an over-protective dad. Things only get more interesting as interactions with the school's mysterious bad boy Patrick start to shake things up.
