Plot

Sixteen-year-old Poppy has everything her unlimited credit cards can buy, and a spoiled attitude to match. After a final thoughtless prank, her exasperated father ships her off to boarding school in England. There, Poppy meets her match in a stern headmistress and a class full of girls who will not tolerate her selfishness.

Since Malibu brat Poppy Moore's mom passed away, she has pushed her rich, usually-absent dad Gerry shamelessly. When his patience wears out, she's shipped off to Abbey Mount, her mother's former English boarding school. On her first day she makes enemies of most of her dorm-mates, especially dominant lacrosse school captain Harriet, and the school's principal Mrs. Kingsley. Unwilling to accept the strict regime, she decides to misbehave and take the blame for everyone until she's dismissed. The school's only appealing feature is Kingsley's dashing son Freddie. Then the dream prince transfers his favor from ambitious, uptight Harriet to unruly Poppy, which changes everything.
