Pilot
Callie, is let out of juvenile detention and moves in with Lena and Steph and their three kids, temporarily. She's happy to be out of juvie but has other things on her mind, namely the safety of her younger brother who is still in the foster home where she used to live. Brandon, Steph's biological son, insists on tagging along when Callie skips out on school to go looking for her brother.
Mariana is hiding something from the rest of the family. She says she doesn't want to meet Ana, her biological mother, but her actions indicate that something is up, something that she isn't talking about to anyone including her twin brother, Jesus. Eventually it becomes clear that she has been in contact with Ana.
Callie sees Mariana stealing medication but doesn't say anything to anyone. Callie sells the medications and meets with Ana, at night while Steph and Lena are out looking for Brandon and Callie. She gives her the money. Ana looks like she has probably seen better days. I got the impression that Mariana was hoping that Ana would take her with her and is left confused when she does not.
There are other less prominent plot threads that don't get as much attention but that hint of possible things to come.
I ran across this series while browsing through Netflix and decided to give it a try. Shows like this sometimes get a little too melodramatic for my tastes. Not all the acting was top notch but there was enough there to keep my interest and pique my curiosity. I will probably watch at least a few more episodes.
