Since they were eight years old, this shared celebration was built up to be superasat least that was the plan. But Taylor Tiara (Alyson “Aly” Michalka), the school’s fashionista and wannabe party planner, has ideas of her own. Cozying up to Jacquie, Taylor’s devious and destructive methods turn these best friends into worst enemies.
