Renee, who gave birth to Cherie in a TeenPregnancy, had to give up her dreams of being a star high school cheerleader and going to college, and is clearly living vicariously through Cherie. Now deprived of that opportunity, a chance comment made to Renee by one of Cherie's teammates and a call from a college recruiter on a phone she confiscated from Cherie leads her to come with a wild backup plan: she'll enroll in an opposing high school ''as'' Cherie, even wearing her clothes, and join their dance squad. Finally living out the life she always wanted, Renee is willing to push aside anyone who might stand in her way, using violent means if necessary, while trying to prevent her sister Lana (Courtney James Clark) from learning about her double life.
