Things get complicated when Cassie meets Adam, Diana’s boyfriend, with whom she feels an instant and powerful connection. Upon meeting one of her mother’s childhood friends, Dawn Chamberlain, who is also the school principal and Faye’s mother, Cassie begins to wonder why her mother never spoke of her home town.

The series outperformed another of MTV’s new commissions, The Hard Times of R.J. Berger, which was renewed for a second season.
