Lisa and Tyler's marriage is on the rocks after Lisa discovers she's pregnant - she's been hoping to start a family but Tyler wants to focus on his business - an outdoor adventure outfitters - and worries being a family man will hurt his youthful, cool "brand". To save their relationship, the pair begin seeing Alana, a marriage counselor whose non-traditional ways seem to be working - at first. But after Alana convinces Lisa and Tyler to join her on a marriage retreat in the middle of nowhere, Lisa realizes their counselor has ulterior motives, and she'll be left fighting for her life, as well as the life of her unborn child.
Charlie Cunningham begs her mom, Amber, to let her switch from her small private school to a public high school, wanting to prove to her (and to herself) that she's changed since being kicked out of school last year. Growing up without any luxuries, Amber works overtime as a doctor in order to give Charlie the finer things in life. It's also her way of making up for her divorce two years ago, and she worries that Charlie blames herself for the separation. Amber is concerned Charlie will return to her old ways, falling into the wrong crowd and getting mixed up in drugs and alcohol, but she reluctantly agrees. The new school starts off well; Charlie receives good grades and praise from her teachers and joins the robotics team - until she falls in with the wrong crowd, starts abusing synthetic weed, and becomes a shell of her former self.
