Plot Synopsis

CLIQUE is a one-hour drama series that sees two best friends -- childhood soulmates Holly and Georgia -- drawn into an elite clique of alpha girls at university in Edinburgh, only a few weeks into the so-called best years of their lives. Holly is cooler, calmer and more cautious than the effervescent Georgia, who willfully throws herself into the madness of first year. When the two attend an electrifying lecture by a hotshot Economics Professor, Jude McDermid, both find themselves considering their future and the possibility of applying to Jude's elite internship scheme. Jude's brand of feminism is alluring, just like the circle of bright students she surrounds herself with. Georgia's effortless entry into the clique leaves Holly out in the cold. But Holly's jealousy soon escalates to panic as Georgia begins acting erratically. Alarmed by this transformation in her best friend, Holly is compelled to follow her into Jude's closely guarded circle. What she discovers is a seductive world of lavish parties, populated by Edinburgh's highest-powered business men and women. But it's a world underpinned by sordid compromise, and as Holly exposes its deeply corrupt core, the danger mounts from all angles, for her and Georgia. Can Holly reclaim her soulmate? And at what cost to herself? CLIQUE had it U.S. premiere on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 from 10pm-Midnight ET/PT, as Pop Network debuted the first two episodes.
