In Newport Beach, Ryan lands in a house where the adults are carrying their own secrets, and he forms an immediate bond with awkward outsider Seth while trying to stay out of trouble.

As Ryan tries to build a new life, friendships, romances, and old habits keep turning every fresh start into another crisis.
