One day, best friends Amy (Rita Volk) and Karma (Katie Stevens) are accidentally outed as lesbians. In the liberal Hester High School, where the most popular guy is school is the gay guy (Shane, played by Michael Willett), this immediately makes them extremely popular. One problem: It's not true. But Karma is obsessed with popularity, to the point where she agrees to keep her and Amy's heterosexuality under wraps for their social sake. Complicating things: Karma's obsession with her ''actual'' crush, Liam (Gregg Sulkin); Amy's soon-to-be-stepsister Lauren (Bailey Buntain), who would be the AlphaBitch at any other high school and hates that Amy is now far more popular; and Amy's own mixed feelings for her best friend. How long can they keep their fake relation going?
