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 Shane Harvey (Michael Willett), as the latter 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.

Farrah begins to think Amy is straight after catching Liam sneaking out of their house. Liam has a hard time keeping the secret from Karma, and Karma thinks Amy is avoiding her because she isn't in love with Amy.

Karma and Amy must deal with the tension between them during a girls' weekend; Liam's new friend takes him to a dive bar, making Shane jealous. Meanwhile, a game of truth or dare goes sideways when Karma tries to find out Lauren's secret.
