At Hester High School in the suburbs of Austin, being different is popular. After many failed attempts to stand out, Karma Ashcroft (Katie Stevens) and her best friend Amy Raudenfeld (Rita Volk) are invited to a house party hosted by popular gay student Shane Harvey (Michael Willett), who is under the impression that the girls are a lesbian couple. At the party, they are subsequently outed as the school's first lesbian couple and unwillingly nominated for homecoming Queens. Continuing the charade as their popularity soars, Karma attracts the attention of the popular and handsome Liam Booker (Gregg Sulkin), while Amy becomes aware of her growing romantic feelings for Karma and a rivalry with her new step-sister, Lauren (Bailey De Young), who discovers that they are faking it.

"We Shall Overcompensate"

When big company Skwerkel tries to buy the students' private information through free technology, Liam starts a protest, and Karma rapidly joins in (if only to try to halt the 'pro-mance' of Liam and Soleil, a fellow protester). Meanwhile, Amy tries to find a secret boyfriend, settling on Oliver, a cute loner.

"Faking Up Is Hard to Do"

Karma persuades Amy that they should 'break up'. Lauren gathers a group of Liam's exes to confront him. Amy and Karma decide to finally just be friends, and Karma and Liam hook up.
