Em Watts is your typical high school braniac. She shuns fashion for a more comfortable, yet sloppy look. She pretends that she doesn’t care when the cool kids at her specialty high school shun her. And she is in love with her best friend, Christopher. She is the exact opposite of her little sister, Frida, who drags Em and Christopher to the opening of a new Stark Megastore in order to meet singer/heartthrob Gabriel Luna. Disaster erupts when a large TV falls on Em just as teen supermodel Nikki Howard suffers an aneurysm in the store.
