When Erika Monroe is approached to plot the expulsion of Chase Thatcher in return for a scholarship to her dream college, she finds the idea of ending his reign as Lindale High's notorious flirt and rule-breaker too tempting to refuse. Her plan is simple: catch him in an act of wrongdoing and give the principal the evidence she needs to expel him. But as Erika finds herself increasingly entangled in a web of lies, moral dilemmas and bad behaviour (not to mention those pesky feelings), it quickly becomes clear that her path to Stanford won't be as clear-cut as she had hoped. And with Chase, being bad feels kinda good... Confronted by decisions about who she is and what she stands for, how long can Erika continue to hide behind frenemy lines?
