And after getting kicked out of the last etiquette school that would take them, the girls expect to be sent away for good? until they receive a mysterious invitation.

Absolutely! But when the sisters are asked to save their town from an evil cabal of mad scientists, they must learn to embrace what has always made them stand out ? before it?s too late!
