Twelve-year-old Massie Block is the leader of the Pretty Committee, a clique of popular, wealthy students at her upstate New York all-girls private school, Octavian County Day.

Her father informs her that Jay Lyons, a friend of his from Florida, will be moving into the Block family's guest house with his wife and two children until they can find a permanent residence.

On the way, they pick up Dylan, Alicia, and Kristen; despite having been friendly to Claire the day before, the girls grow cold and dismissive towards her upon realizing Massie dislikes her.

Witnessing the interaction, Massie is overcome with jealousy, and enlists the other members of her clique to start bullying Claire via harsh insults and cruel pranks.

On a field trip to New York City, the Pretty Committee tries to sell a makeup line created by Kristen for a school project, but their recipe contains peanut oil, triggering allergic reactions in their classmates.
