Synopsis

A parody of the high school comedy and horror films of the past 20 years which follows the exploits of the most powerful clique at Reagan High. Courtney Shane, Julie Freeman, Marcie Fox and Lizz Purr are all best friends. Or, to be more precise, they are drawn together by their appreciation for each other as the most popular and the most beautiful girls at Reagan. They are at the height of their popularity when an innocent birthday prank results in the accidental death of Liz, the sweetest member of the clique. The class nerd, Fern Mayo stumbles in the girls' panicked attempts to cover up their involvement in Liz's death. What results is a dark, comical Faustian tale of corruption, redemption and makeover madness.
