Synopsis


The series follows four girls who form a club to help their peers with mysteries by using technology.[6]


Skye’s Cyber Bullying Mystery


When Skye (Kelcie Stranahan), the most popular girl in the 8th grade, starts to receive threatening emails, text messages and voice-mails, she doesn't know what to do. Her best friend Melody (Stephanie Cameron) asks the tech-savvy Adina (Amelia Varni) for help. When Adina says yes, her friend Clara (Cierra Trussell) is confused. Skye is stuck up, and has never been nice to them in the past, so why is Adina helping her? After an adventure, the girls learn about more than just the bully's identity—they learn about friendship and growing up in the digital age of technology.


The Case of the Online Crush


Michael (Sam Ison), a concerned 8th grader, approaches the Club with a difficult problem. His friend Ally (Nyssa Smikoski) has been talking to a guy online for over two months and it seems too good to be true—except the guy is 21! The club takes the case to track down Ally’s mysterious boyfriend and uncover his true identity. After using technology and their detective sleuth skills, the club learns that young online relationships aren’t as romantic as they might seem.


The Case of the Plagiarized Paper


Dave (Kyle Fitz), a fellow 7th grade classmate needs help from the Club (Adina's deck). Someone in Mr. B’s class plagiarized their own paper and since Mr. B has a bell curve it affects everyone. Dave’s grade got lowered and that means if his parents find out about it, they will be sending him to boarding school. Adina’s Deck takes the case in order to help Dave get the grade he deserves. In this who-done-it, there are four main suspects, and the club needs to investigate each paper to catch the cheater and save Dave . After a difficult case, the club learns about the true nature of plagiarism and that doing things right the first time just might be a trustworthy solution.
