Four old friends from high school have little in common, besides the fact that they were 'the losers' in high school who tried to avoid the attentions of the popular school bully, Tiffany Turner. Now twenty seven-years-old and content with their lives, the friends receive a surprise invite to their ten year reunion. Will facing Tiffany mean sweet revenge or a re-evaluation of their current lives?

But when a series of events leads the girls to question the value of friendship in their lives, a collective decision is made to split the prize money four ways. Now all of them are multi-millionaires. And, more importantly, well and truly part of each other's lives once more.
Jenny throws a party to celebrate Bec and Matt setting the wedding date. The event brings everyone together for the first time - and with it, more than a few surprises.
