The mom and dad of the family have Ashley. They then get pregnant with a little boy. They
take a road trip up the west coast. They get in an accident and they lose the baby. The doctor
tells the mother that she unable to conceive children. Devestated, the family decides to adopt

out very fast. There are plenty of ads, pictures, and even articles personally written by them.

They play two Malibu teens dealing with their parents’ separation. We follow the girls’ lives and adventures both at home and at Ocean View High.
Macy and Josh Carlson (Mom and Dad) ran a highly successful fashion design label together for years, until Josh hit his mid-life crisis. In the spirit of "finding himself", he moved out to a trailer which happens to overlook his former Malibu beachfront home. When type-A Mom and laid-back Dad get together on occasion, it’s just like old times...lots of bickering. The girls split time between Mom’s swank beachfront digs and Dad’s cozy but cluttered bohemian trailer. Mom and Dad are helped out by Manuelo - the family’s flamboyant nanny.
Ashley, like her mom, is an assertive overachiever with her eye on Travis, the brooding dreamboat next door. By contrast, Mary-Kate is more like her Dad - laid-back and down to earth. Mary-Kate has the misfortune of being hounded by Larry, the over-eager boy from school who has a huge crush on her and will pull any stunt to get her attention.
