You see, they were always getting arrested, but nothing would happen because they were rich and everyone loved them. Things were horrible but then murder broke loose, and the father died of poisoning. Soon after, the mother got arrested for possession of having more than 1,000 pounds of marijuana and then committed suicide. To make everything worse, Ashley and Josh were both put into foster care, and were separated and they're looking for each other and will do anything to get each other back.
