A teen drama follows orphaned New York City girl Jackie Howard as she moves to a large family ranch in rural Colorado after losing her parents and sister. She adjusts to small-town life and a love triangle with brothers Cole and Alex while dealing with grief and new relationships. The show includes a visible biracial Latina lead, ensemble diversity with black and Indigenous supporting characters, and a secondary gay romance subplot between Nathan and Skylar across both seasons. Romance, family drama, and teen angst drive the story with no major political messaging.
