It's always been the three of them, and they've never needed anybody else. They fit together like pieces of jigsaw and know each other inside out. But as they get older, changes start to occur and may result in some tough situations and put a strain on their relationships as secrets start to slip out.
First there's Hunter, he's hot, adopted, vice-captain of the football team and has a strong love for art. He also holds a secret that even his best-friends, that are like his siblings, don't know.
Then there's Max, he's super hot, captain of the football team and has the IQ any MENSA student would be proud of. He also has a secret, yet its not so secret, but still secret towards the one its about.
And finally, there's Claudia-Lily. And she's beautiful but definitely doesn't know it and hides behind her studies to avoid any sort of things that avoid boys being more than friends. No only is she clever though, she's an incredible skateboarder and has a strong passion for dance. But she has a difficult memory, that still haunts her ten years on.
As they take on dilemmas that test their relationship and watch as changes are made as their secrets come out.
