The series follows recently orphaned Jackie Howard, a teenage girl from Manhattan who relocates to rural Colorado after she is taken in by the Walters, a family of seven sons and one daughter.

Another main plot point of this season is the renovation of the financially struggling Walter ranch, with drama and disagreement ensuing between different generations of the family. We also explore the normal complexities of teenage life, ranging from going to prom, running for student class president, the dynamics of American football, to teenage romance and friendships.
