Hidden Palms

Having spent a portion of the previous twelve months in rehab following the suicide of his father, Johnny Miller, his mother and his new stepfather move to Palm Springs. Here he meets the enigmatic Greta, increasingly creepy Cliff, mayors daughter Michelle, and brainy Liza. It soon becomes clear that the former two know more about each other and the death of one of the previous occupants of Johnnys home than they are letting on.

Johnny leaves Nikki alone at his house for an hour and she promptly falls off the wagon when some friends show up. Meanwhile, Greta confronts Cliff about harassing Johnny; and Cliffs mom invites her new boyfriend to move in, much to Cliffs dismay.

Liza makes a shocking discovery when she breaks into Cliffs room to find evidence that Eddie was murdered. Meanwhile, Johnny reluctantly plays in a charity golf tournament with Bob; and Gretas dad returns unexpectedly and starts wooing Tess.

When Johnny spreads news of Cliffs affair with Mrs. Nolan to Liza and Greta, the group concludes that this may have been the reason behind Eddies murder. However, Johnny is soon brought back to doubt and distrust when he finds a video of Liza and Eddie kissing. Finally, Cliff struggles to regain Nikkis affections while fending off Mrs. Nolans advances, and Tess and Skip continue their affair.
