The girls have different goals, different friends, and different lives, but they share one very big secret: Theyre all members of Dont Get Mad, a secret society that anonymously takes revenge on the schools bullies, mean girls, and tyrannical teachers.
But when their latest target ends up dead with a blood-soaked DGM card in his hands, the girls realize that theyre not as anonymous as they thoughtand that someone now wants revenge on them.
