New Jersey transplant Mondo Brando and his out spoken single mom Babs arrive in sunny Playa Del Toro, CA to a world of change. Surrounded by tan beach bodies, Mondo feels like a fish out of water until he meets Woodie. Woodie is the ultimate Playa dude and shows Mondo around the boardwalk and the school halls, introducing him to the off-the-wall characters that fill up this radical town. If Mondo can navigate the gnarly waters of school, bullies, and untouchable babes, he and Woodie have a year full of adventures to look forward to.
