Lori Loughlin (who we've always kinda liked) plays Ava Gregory, a fashion designer who shares a beach house in California with her business partner and best friend Susannah (who we also kinda like), and a couple other friends, Johnny (Ava's ex-boyfriend) and Jay (a surfer, who owns a surf shop, and is dating a surf instructor named Erika, who we kinda like). Ava is originally from Kansas, where her sister lived with her husband and their 3 kids, Bradin, Nikki (who we kinda like), and Derrick. When their parents die as volunteer rescue workers in a storm, the kids go to California to live with their aunt and her friends.

Nothing about the show seems particularly original, but it's not bad. I mean, I found it a reasonably fun show to watch, at least for the summer... That is, in the first season, which I might rate abit higher than the second season (and the series overall). Yeah... I really wasn't that into it in the second season, and in retrospect don't even care that much about the series as a whole, but it was still okay. Though I didn't shed any tears when it was cancelled. And uh, I can't really think of anything too specific to say about the plot or anything....
