A brainy misfit sees her reputation decline and her popularity rise when she runs for student council president.

In 1954, four years before the original "Grease," before rock'n'roll ruled and before the T-Birds were the coolest in the school, four fed-up outcasts dare to have fun on their own terms, which sparks a moral panic that will change Rydell High forever.

"Rydell High is back and this time it's all about the Pink Ladies. A Grease prequel chronicles the coolest girl gang's rebelliously radiant origins." "...Set in 1954, four years before a little-known innocent Aussie Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) transferred to Rydell High; Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies will focus on the Pink Ladies origin story - to which Rizzo, Frenchy, Jan, and Marty eventually followed during their graduating year." According to a synopsis, the mini-series: "follows four fed-up and misfit students who band together to bring out the moral panic that will change Rydell High forever and become the founding mothers of the first high school clique known as the Pink Ladies."—By Hayley Peppin, Harper's Bazaar
