The show is about six teenage friends, who talk about the differences between girls and boys, examining topics such as hobbies, food, music and fashion.[2]

Characters

• Jason: He is Talia's brother and not the only person who would refuse to try at all but in the end he wins. He loves music and is nearly always wearing his headphones and portable CD player. He likes to keep with the flow and the latest cool stuff. He wants to become a DJ.
• Ben: Slightly obnoxious, Ben most likely to have the latest "coolnest" but at the end of the day he's a good guy who cares about his friends. He is probably the second biggest show-off, behind Hanna.
• Simon: He is the smartest of the group and is a computer whiz. He's kind of a nerd but his friends like to think of him as a cool smart guy. He is very cautious.
• Talia: She is the youngest in the group, but her outfits make her look older. She has a say what you think/nervous demeanour. Her favourite things are filming and photography. She also has her own website.
• Hanna: She is the fashion queen in the group. She's spoiled and absolutely loves shopping. She is sometimes bossy and is always trying to change other's fashion statement or style and tries to make it like her own.
• Reanne: She does her bit for the environment and is a free spirit. She loves animals and thinks everyone has a good side. She wants to save the earth by cleaning parks, volunteering in nature groups and sometimes gets her friends involved.
