Season 2 • Episode 13
LatestA girl named Faith (Danielle Panabaker) comes to Playa Linda to look at colleges. She sees potential in Bradin and tries to motivate him to go to college. Unfortunately Bradin's only aspirations are to be a surfer. Faith helps motivate him to see that there's more than just surfing.
Bradin, Nikki and Derrick are 3 kids from an average normal Kansas household. Their whole life is thrown upside-down when their parents are tragically killed in a car accident. Ava Gregory (their aunt) gets custody of her niece and nephews and they move into her Californian home (in Summerland). Ava, a struggling clothes designer, lives with her best friend and business partner, Susannah Rexford, her friend, an ex- pro.surfer, Jay Robertson and her ex-boyfriend, real estate agent, Johnny Durrant. All four of them are highly unequipped to handle children and are not use to including them in their everyday lives.
