AFTERGRAD is a dark, intoxicating teen drama set in the small, pressure-cooker town of Briar Ridge, where graduating high school doesn't free you from the past-it traps you in it.
The story follows six young adults standing at the edge of their next chapter, each battling secrets that threaten to consume them before they ever make it out. Hailey, the girl-next-door with light-brown hair, is trying to keep her fractured family together while ignoring her complicated, slow-burn love triangle with Chase, the blonde, bisexual heartthrob torn between her and their brooding friend Ryder, who's struggling with his own confusing emotional connection to his childhood best friend, Elliot.
Violet, Hailey's jet-black-haired best friend, is bold, loyal, and hiding her own bruises-including a dangerous connection with Hailey's brother Jax, recently out of jail and back in town with secrets of his own.
Meanwhile, Elliot is caught in the fallout of a forbidden affair with Mr. Keller, the town's young, charming teacher whose polished life as a married man masks years of internal torment. When Keller dies suddenly in a car crash, it sends shockwaves through Briar Ridge, unraveling truths that were never meant to surface.
As friendships crack, desires intensify, and loyalties shift, the group must confront who they are-and who they're becoming. Every choice pushes them deeper into a web of betrayal, forbidden love, identity, trauma, and the dangerous ache of wanting more than the place they come from.
Moody, stylish, and emotionally explosive, AFTERGRAD blends the raw intensity of Euphoria with the secrets-and-scandal tone of Gossip Girl, creating a story where no one escapes untouched.
