Eighteen-year-old Ivy Hart transfers to St. Lane High School. She keeps a low profile, concealing her identity as the daughter of the school's largest shareholder, and only wants to start afresh on her own. However, on her very first day, she's targeted by the school's queen, Chloe. Chloe appears beautiful and confident, but in reality, she controls the entire school through table manners, gossip journals, isolation, and humiliation. Ivy initially tries to get close to Chloe to understand why everyone fears her, but in the process, she almost loses herself and hurts Lena, who genuinely cares about her. The sincerity of Noah, an ordinary boy, keeps Ivy grounded, but also drives Chloe, who secretly loves Noah, to a point of uncontrollable jealousy. Ultimately, Ivy doesn't rely on her family background or humiliating others, but rather reclaims her rightful place by admitting her mistakes, publicly apologizing, and exposing the rules.
