Blair is a wild child. No mum or dad around to set an example, she does what she wants when she wants. When she meets Miranda and the rest of the girls at Blackwood Academy she couldn't have felt more like she fits in, and can't remember the last time she had as much fun and been on as many adventures. The girls at Blackwood are the people your parents warned you about; wild, bad, flirty, hot and desirable. But then Blair falls for the wrong boy, and whilst trying to deal with the dark secrets of the students at Blackwood, as well as her own messed up background, she starts to see what being a 'Bad Girl' can really mean.
