Two hundred years into the future, society is recovering from global collapse, and genetic modification has saved the remaining population from a hunger crisis. The alteration of human DNA has been illegal since the technology was developed, but in the heart of New London, a sinister trend has emerged among society's elite. Designer children have been the city's best-kept secret for years, but strange side effects are now appearing as they hit adolescence.

"And Bethany." *** When Bethany Scott's best friend is back stabbed by the oh-so-annoying , Calum Hood, she knows she has to step in. After her friend's drastic fate, she tries her best to get her friend on the right track, hoping she won't get hurt again. Oh but the outcome is much worse. The girls that Calum has stabbed emotionally have come out to the dark road of revenge and set out to make his life miserable. As much as Bethany is glad the girls aren't depressed anymore, they start to pin it on her for their cold-hearted vengeance. Bethany clutches onto herself for dear life as she struggles to survive endless pickup lines, a hurricane of drama, and girls running at her direction every where she goes. Add a bit cliché innuendoes and you've got yourself an accidental romance.
