At prestigious Pace Academy, the Pacesetters make the rules. But in the world outside, being rich and popular doesn't always get you what you want.?

Starr has ambition, charisma and?thanks to her father's record company?all the connections to get her group major exposure. Just one problem: Starr can't sing, and now her friends are looking to replace her with her archrival, Natalee.

Dionne is excited about being the rapper of the group?even if her parents don't approve. But it's hard to focus on her rhymes when there is too much drama at home.

Marisol loves the stage, though it's dancing, not singing, that's in her blood. She'd do anything for her friends?except give up her own shot at stardom.

With ego trippin' and infighting tearing their friendship apart, Starr, Dionne and Marisol are finding that the big time comes with even bigger problems.?
