Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother was right about how misguided she was -- and falls for him.

In a small town a young woman is murdered. The police assumes it's an accident, but friends of the murdered woman don't believe that. When they search for evidence, the police threatens them not to meddle in the investigation. When they are closing in on the truth, they find themselves in the dark world of slave trade and exotic animal smuggling.
