In a rough Los Angeles neighborhood, four smart, funny and streetwise teens find their lifelong friendship tested as they begin high school.
As the first day of high school approaches, Monse returns from writing camp to find that Ruby and Jamal are on the outs with Cesar.
An attempted intervention on Cesar's behalf doesn't go quite as planned. Meanwhile, Ruby experiences love at first sight with a friend of the family.
As Cesar sinks deeper into Oscar's unsafe world, the group deals with the emotional turmoil of attending their first high school dance.
On Halloween, Jamal persuades the crew to trick-or-treat in swanky Brentwood, where he hopes to uncover clues to a local mystery.
Self-confessed blabbermouth Jamal gives Cesar a time limit to tell Ruby about what happened with Olivia, but a police lockdown complicates matters.
As secrets get revealed, the core friend group begins to fracture. Amid the upheaval, Jamal's lies about football finally catch up with him.
Ruby becomes obsessed with planning the perfect quinceañera for Olivia, while Jamal finds an oddball ally in his quest to solve the RollerWorld riddle.
Cesar spends quality time with Oscar, Monse finagles a baby-sitting job, Jamal edges closer to the truth, and Olivia experiences a fashion crisis.
With Cesar's future on the line, Jamal, Monse and Ruby end up in a frantic search around town to find the one thing that might save him.
Partners switch on more than the dance floor at Olivia's quinceañera, but an act of mercy could cost the friends everything they hold dear.
