The Founding Families

The Bhalli Family

 Alima Bhalli fell pregnant with her twins, Jace and Petal, when she was barely out of High School. Since then she's put her life on the back-burner and raised them alone, with great results; both of them are the most well-adjusted kids you could ever hope to meet. Now they've hit the teen years the whole family has moved to a new housing development out in Serenity Hills, and Alima's ready to let herself go a bit crazy - meet new friends and maybe even find love... Jace and Petal, meanwhile, just want to get into college.

The Darwin Family

 

Adele and Harvey's marriage has never been plain sailing, despite Harvey's mother Verity's best attempts to keep things smooth between them. Sporty, academic Adele and artistic, slightly devil-may-care Harvey clash often, especially now Harvey's dragged the whole family out into the middle of nowhere so he can start his own art business. Their eldest son Tom is already showing signs of dysfunction - how can anyone like the idea of commitment if his parents are the only model for it - and Verity is trying to keep new baby Sam out of trouble.

The King Family

 

Duncan King didn't want to move out to the sticks, but his wife Noriko wanted somewhere peaceful where she could become pregnant and fulfill her dream of having at least three intelligent, successful children, and he had to comply. Their teenage son Nathaniel seems like a pleasant enough boy, mostly concerned with sports, school and college applications, but who knows what could happen... and worst of all, in Adrian's opinion, is the fact his pleasure-seeking little brother Duncan has come along for the ride. But maybe he can change now he's away from the big city. Adrian would settle for him moving out.
