Self-confessed teen neurotic nerd Giles Gordon moves to Sunset Cove with his mysterious mother Dorothy and eccentric Grandpa. Sunset Cove is an idyllic beach community where the sun always shines endlessly onto golden sands, the surf is forever up and never down — and the people are all truly beautiful. It is the world of sunshine soaps. Perfect in tone which isn’t confined to the muscles of the hunks or shapely figures of the beach babes. But as Giles soon discovers, there is more to Sunset Cove than meets the eye. And nothing is ever quite what it seems. (26x26min)
