Based on the cult classic 1980s film, the show follows the story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy, beautiful teenage misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at school - the Heathers. But when Veronica falls for the dangerously charming new kid J.D., her dreams of escape take a deadly turn.
