Maya Bishop, a 16-year-old track athlete, is the best runner at her school. What she doesn't realize is that her father's "unconventional" coaching methods are actually a form of abuse. Pushed beyond her limits as both an athlete and a teenager, Maya believes she's found a way to manage the pain without her father's noticing. That is, until Carina DeLuca, a 17-year-old transfer student from Italy, arrives at her school.

Carina DeLuca, a talented dancer, moved to America hoping that escaping her bipolar father would help heal the damage done to her body. But the emotional scars linger, manifesting in new ways. Even in a different country, she can't outrun her past. Her obsession with self-discipline nearly breaks her, until one day she meets Maya, and for the first time, the constant noise in her head begins to quiet.

"now, when we kiss, i have anger issues" OLIVIA MURPHY needs a fresh start. With her father in prison for a crime he claims he didn't commit and everyone at her old station acting like she aided and abetted, Liv can think of nothing better than getting the hell out of Philadelphia, and Los Angeles is calling her name. She's paired with an LAPD legend, Sergeant Athena Grant, a no-nonsense field sergeant who has only ever had one partner before and isn't happy to gain a mouthy twenty-eight year old as her next. She's sure Athena hates her and will do anything to get her out of her hair, even setting her up with a vulnerable widower in her new husband's firefighting station. The last thing Liv wants in L.A. is a new boyfriend to inevitably let her down, but damn, he's got a great ass- and what's a little bit of fun? EDDIE DIAZ needs a fresher start. Only a few months after his soon-to-be ex-wife's death and his family is still reeling. Eddie and Shannon were a thing of the past; they had reconciled any bad feelings and realized their love for each other was platonic years ago, and even though he didn't love her like he thought he did, his son still lost her mother. He isn't looking to date anyone- but Athena's new partner makes his heart race, and he needs a new outlet. When a tsunami and a lost son sets their paths on a collision course, Liv and Eddie find themselves asking- how casual can they really be? s3-s5 : eddie diaz x fem!oc s5-s8: buddie x fem!oc fox/abc's 9-1-1
