At age 12, Darah, the exiled daughter of Thomas Benson, the butler of The Havenmeyers, returns after five years to seek revenge on Sarah Havemeyer, the girl who 'destroyed' her life. It was Sarah's information that made their parents exile Darah to live in Alaska to live with her grandmother where she had no life whatsoever. Now, after her grandmother passes away, Thomas pleads with his boss (Donatella Havenmeyer), to allow Darah to live at the Mansion with him and attend Senior year at the same school Sarah and her brother go to. Darah returns and although she plays nice with everyone and supposedly has let bygones be bygones, she wants to destroy Sarah by knocking her off her social pedestal by taking her place.
