 Tagline: New Girl. New School. New Rules.
When 16-year-old Malibu princess Poppy (Emma Roberts) trashes her beach front home in order to “welcome” her dad's (Aidan Quinn) new fiancée, he carries out a long-promised threat to send her away to boarding school in York, England. There, she'll finally learn the scholarship, fellowship and loyalty that have so far eluded her.
Very much a fish out of water, Poppy gets off to a royal bad start at the Abbey Mount School for Girls. She refuses to acknowledge the authority of snobbish and cruel Head Girl Harriet (Georgia King) and makes an instant enemy of the fifth-generation Abbey Mount student. She also fails to see the point in bonding with her schoolmates. Why bother? Poppy intends to be out of there and back to the beach in a few weeks anyway.
Several of her roommates-Drippy (Juno Temple), Kiki (Sophie Wu) and Josie (Linzey Crocker)-give Poppy the cold shoulder once her outrageous behavior starts costing them privileges. But the most mature of the girls, Kate (Kimberly Nixon, extends an olive branch when Poppy confides that her mother died in a car accident five years ago and she's been struggling since.
