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. The themes of love and relationships, trust, true friendship, empowerment, teen identity and independence weave addictively throughout the series. Even when they are focused on grades or guys, jeopardy is never far away. Adapted by Holly Phillips from the book by Gretchen McNeil, Get Even is a ten part series and is a co-production between BBC Children’s In-House Productions and Boat Rocker Studios. Executive Producer for Children’s In House Productions is Lucy Martin with Chapman Maddox and Bob Higgins Executive Producers for Boat Rocker.
