'Jessica Fairgate, Blake Dexter and Holly Harrison are three ordinary teenagers who are catapulted into an extraordinary world: the world of television! For each of them, landing a role in the exciting new soap, Bondi Parade, is a dream come true.

However, it doesn't take the new stars long to realise that the road to fame and fortune is not easy. The hours are long, the expectations are great and the criticisms savage.

Thrown together, Jessica and Holly become instant soul mates, even though they are complete opposites. Blake, meanwhile, cuts a cool and mysterious profile. His reckless behaviour earns him an instant enemy in Jessica, igniting the flames of a fiery attraction. But Blake is hiding a painful secret. Will Jessica be able to break down the barriers and help him?'
