What if you could be instantly popular - guaranteed? Samantha wants to be popular more than anything, and she is willing to do what it takes to make it happen. When the most popular girl in her school moves in across the street from Samantha, she begins to spy on Kylie to uncover her secret. After breaking into her room and hiding in the closet, Samantha discovers the secret to Kylie's popularity, and all she has to do is steal the second skin Kylie takes off before she goes to bed. Once Samantha begins to wear the popularity skin, Kylie loses her popular life and Samantha achieves most-popular-girl status. But Samantha didn't know what being popular would cost her, and now she is not so sure she is willing to pay the price.
