With the help of her [[TheDandy sharp-dressing hairdresser pal Paul]], Viola becomes Sebastian!Viola, enters Illyria, and [[IncrediblyLamePun voilà!]]. It's not a perfect disguise, but no one at the new school has met Sebastian (so they don't know the difference), and their parents are clueless because they're divorced and Illyria is a boarding school. Viola and Sebastian simply tell each that they are staying with the other, Her roommate is Duke (Tatum), the eventual LoveInterest, but Sebastian!Viola has problems at first because of Sebastian's permanent record (he's a troublemaker) and because Viola is still a girl under her disguise. With a bit of help from her hairdresser friend, Sebastian!Viola is accepted into Duke's group of friends but is still second string for the boys' soccer team.

Enter [[RomanticFalseLead Olivia]] (Creator/LauraRamsey) who becomes Sebastian!Viola's lab partner, though Duke has a [[StalkerWithaCrush massive crush on her]]. Duke, [[DramaticIrony who has issues talking to girls, tells Sebastian!Viola]] this and asks for [[strike:her]] [[strike:his]] ''her'' help. And so begins the LoveDodecahedron as described in the poster.
