The first series of Sugar Rush opens with fifteen-year-old Kim (Hallinan) moving to Brighton with her family, and developing a crush on her best friend - heterosexual girl Sugar (Crichlow).

The series follows Kim as she tries to gain Sugar's affections, leading to Sugar taking advantage of her kindness.
