The arrival of two strangers to Aburi throws the community into chaos. And then there’s Headmistress Francis, who loves all the girls but is constantly exasperated with the work of reining in their schemes and antics. We learn quickly that while Paulina has the school under her thumb, she is not without enemies, even within her own circle of friends. Then there’s Mercy and Gifty, best friends who will do anything Paulina commands as long as it means they get to be members of the cool girls’ club. Paulina is flanked by the smart and outspoken Ama, and Nana, the sweet and sensitive one whose love of food makes her an easy target for Paulina’s criticisms. We meet their leader, the Queen Bee Paulina, a domineering alpha who will stop at nothing to become Miss Ghana. They’re that crew - every school has one - the students who use popularity, gossip, and manipulation to exert and maintain power over their less popular classmates. It’s 1986, and a squad of the most popular girls reigns over the school community while preparing to compete in the Miss Ghana beauty pageant. Welcome to Aburi boarding school in central Ghana.
