Introducing:
Erica- She's the boss. She looks after her 6 loving children. Although she's in her late 40's, Erica is still takin' names and kickin' butts - and she does this while still looking younger than ever!
Faith- Being the eldest one at 19, she has to deal with living with 5 quite nightmarish siblings. She's the one that makes sure that her aforementioned siblings don't kill Greg's pain-in-the-neck girlfriend (although it would be nice), get arrested by the police, or torture the poor family hamster.
Leah- Oh Leah, everybody loves Leah! She's all that - and more! She's the one who keeps everyone safe. Also she's the sassiest one of them all! You do NOT want to mess with her siblings or else, you'll have to mess with her!
Greg and Jenny- Although they're twins, they're complete polar opposites! Jenny likes to hang out with her friends and blow some things up, meanwhile Greg likes to take it easy and rock out on his guitar. Although they may have differing opinions, they still love their family with all their heart.
Katelyn- This little imp loves to get in all sorts of trouble, usually with her younger brother Arlo. She once convinced a world-renowned celebrity that she was the child of an ogre! Whenever she's not bribing her siblings to take her to the latest animal party, she's usually seen burying Arlo in their backyard.
Arlo- Little Arlo, oh so sweet and innocent - NOT! Although only 4 years old, this little tyke has managed to cause all sorts of mayhem, usually falling victim to his 2 years older sister Katelyn. Luckily for him, Katelyn's always the one who gets in trouble despite there being clear evidence that it was Arlo that caused a bomb to go off.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
