Single father George Altman is doing his best to raise his sixteen-year-old daughter
Tessa in the big city. When he discovers a box of condoms in her bedroom, though,
he decides the time has come to move her to a more wholesome and nurturing environment:
the suburbs.
But behind the beautiful homes and perfect lawns lurk the Franken-moms, spray tans,
nose jobs, and Red Bull-guzzling teens who have nothing in common with Tessa.
It’s a whole new world, one that makes George wonder if
they haven’t jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.
With the help of suburbanites like old college friend Noah, flirty Alpha mom Dallas
and awkward classmate Lisa, George and Tessa slowly learn to navigate the pitfalls
of suburban life. With time, they might even find that it isn’t so bad.
Once you get past the plastic smell.
George Altman has been a single father to fifteen-year-old Tessa for about as long as he's
been a father. But while his wife's postpartum departure might have blown other men to bits,
George picked up the pieces and ran with them. He's not a perfect dad, but what he lacks
in a general knowledge of the teenaged girl's psyche, he makes up for with a genuine desire
to understand his daughter and help her navigate her adolescent years. His ability to
sympathize coupled with his metropolitan take on the world has made him an in demand
friend and a bit of a hot commodity to the ladies of Chatswin. George works as a
moderately successful architect in New York City and the surrounding areas.
Tessa Altman grew up in the melting pot of New York City, absorbing all the life lessons
to be gleaned from its tired, huddled masses and countless one-man shows, channeling them
into a wry, wiser-than-her-fifteen-years take on the world. She is considerably hip,
a trait that comes effortlessly given her genuine interest in Fellini movies
and good indie rock music. The city is absolutely everything to her,
and woe betide any parish, hamlet, or crossroads that claims superiority.
It's possible Dallas Royce has never seen the inside of a diner, flown with a layover,
or spoken to a mechanic. But while she might take this for granted, she never lets it go
to her head. She cares deeply about her fellow man, as evidenced by her membership in
the Neighborhood Association, PTA, and Chatswin Country Club in addition to her charities:
Airbeds for the Homeless, Airbeds for the Elderly, and the Altmans. She is always
impeccably dressed in the hippest haute couture and looking to
help others hone their fashion sense in kind.
Dalia Royce has lived in the lap of luxury her entire life and it couldn't be clearer.
Her clothes, her car (which she doesn’t yet have a license to drive), her choice of
friends – they all scream money. And, coupled with her inability to look at a hobo or
pronounce discount, they also scream bitch. She's Malibu Barbie, but with more mascara
and less emotion. She would prefer not to mix company with those who spend less than
$2000 when they shop. If she must, though, she would prefer they didn’t address her directly.
Lisa Shay is the kind of person who deserves to be happy in life but probably never will be.
At least not while she's in high school... or college... or her twenties. So she spends
her days doing all she can to fly under the radar, lest the people she encounters – her
mother, Dalia, the postman – compound the pain. And who can blame her? Her parents shower
all their love and devotion on her brother Ryan; Chatswin High glitterati respect only
the Nordic and faux-Nordic; and the postman has a chip on his shoulder because he was
supposed to be a doctor. Best to let these years slip by and come out of
her shell after 2030 or a nuclear winter, whichever comes last.
Mr. Wolfe never planned on being Chatswin High’s Guidance Counselor, but when life
gives you lemons, you accept the state of our economy and take whatever job you can.
However, he's fully embraced his position between the hours of 12:00 and 12:45.
Despite his apathy, Mr. Wolfe has a good heart. He's genuinely disappointed when
he can't help a student be their best, because of the
end of year reviews with the school board.
Noah Werner is the suburban bon vivant. No one else comes close.
After all his hard work putting himself through dental school, he decided he’d earned
the right to let loose, and there is no better playground than Chatswin. He loves and
frequents every square inch of the place, from the tanning salons to the hair salons
to whatever other in-vogue salon might pop up. If Noah’s not in suburbia,
he’s nowhere near home.
