The next generation of Santornos have gone their separate ways for school but distance doesn’t seem to be helping. Ryan and Evan are both trying to find their hearts but just can’t seem to get over that the one that holds their heart is straight…or is he? Landon and Joshua are both trying to move on but with one comment, the girl who Josh chose crushes him with her rigid beliefs. Can Kat get around her insecurities to help Joshua? Stefan has loved Phoebe since he knew what love was but how long can he last when Phoebe can’t believe in him and their love? Tanner’s love for Nico has lasted but he begins to doubt that Nico will ever see him as his equal. Can Nico convince Tanner that he’s distancing himself for Tanner’s own good and he’ll be there for him after graduation? Misunderstandings and peril run amok, but that's just part of being a Santorno...
