What does it take to be popular?
After leaving her entire life in another state, Candice must quickly make a name for herself at the rich and prestigious Oklahoma Excellence High school.

Purple-haired Keli insists she join the drug crowd, while the average girls dare her to make a move at all. But the worst has yet to hit, and it will take every ounce of courage in Candice to survive the collisions of faith and reality.
