But when their latest target, Ronny, ends up dead with a DGM card in his hands, the girls realise that they’re not as anonymous as they thought – someone now wants revenge.
DGM find themselves framed for a crime they didn’t commit. Their only option is to discover who the true murderer is, why they were framed, and clear their name once and for all.
It’s also a time of first love, exams and identity crisis and for Kitty, Margot, Bree and Olivia.
