Viola Hastings ima svoje razloge da prikrije vlastiti identitet nakon dolaska u školu Illyria Prep, a u pokušaju svog brata blizanca Sebastiana da se probije na londonsku glazbenu scenu i njegovim izbivanjem s nastave vidi savršenu priliku da preuzme njegov identitet. Kad joj cimer postaje školski cooler Duke, njezina se fasada polako počinje urušavati dok se zaljubljuje u svog novog cimera koji ništa ne sumnja.
