Plot
Heather Romley (Shannen Doherty) and Suzanne (Jennifer Blanc) are both singers who have been competing against each other as long as they can remember. Usually Heather won all the competitions, which resulted in Suzanne being insecure and carrying a grudge against Heather, while being pushed by her stage mother. Years later, Heather goes to college and has a boyfriend, Simon (Jason London). Suzanne also enrolls in the same university with the intention of destroying Heather's life.
She now goes by Zanne Armstrong and becomes best friends with Heather. Meanwhile, she destroys all of Heather's friendships and even successfully seduces Simon. Heather is now being threatened with expulsion from college for plagiarism and is kicked out of her own band, with Zanne taking her place. Heather wants to take down Zanne, and sets out to prove Zanne's true identity, with help.
