OMG, the encrypted language young people use to communicate these days needs to be heard to be believed.

Ever heard of amazeballs (amazing) or totes inappropes (totally inappropriate)?

I must listen to the wrong radio station.

So Undercover is written for the teenage market in a big way and though it speaks in their language, it also pokes fun at modern communication.

So Undercover is classic teen material - their language, their characters and a somewhat familiar setting.

Star of the show is Molly (Miley Cyrus), a tough, street-smart private eye who is enlisted to go undercover in a university sorority to uncover crucial evidence vital to a criminal trial against a mob boss.

The problem is Molly doesn't know who the enemy is and what exactly she is looking for.

Molly also has her problems trying to fit in with the princesses who make up the sorority.

Having been brought up by her father, Molly is hard-nosed and has never had the trendy mantra of young people.

She is more comfortable with a gun in her hand than a hair dryer.

Molly must constantly keep her wits about her as characters come and go who could pose a threat.

Only using her private investigator skills is she able to finally determine what is really going on and thwart it.

So Undercover offered a surprisingly complicated plot and you certainly didn't know where the danger was really coming from until the end.
