Claire has evolved from a scrawny sarcastic kid to a very attractive girl, and boys are taking notice. Her over-achieving best friend Jasmine helps her become comfortable with her new hot looks, and Claire sets her sights on a cute football player named Seth. Cole grew up in competition with is sister right out of the womb. Now that he is in high school, he wants to transform into a popular guy. The two siblings come up with a crazy idea to throw a party while their parents are out of town, however the night takes a few turns that they never could have expected.
