As the final days of winter break trickle away, our band of reluctant Atomic County heroes begrudgingly convene at the Bait Shop for one last taste of freedom before the grip of their final high school semester reclaims them. They are determined to “Free Marissa” from the clutches of Newport Union and thrust her back into the manufactured utopia of Harbor High to “Graduate. In the midst of this teenage turmoil, Julie and Neil stumble through the awkward pas de deux of their post-divorce existence. With the stakes higher than Seth's caffeine intake, Sandy's daring plan becomes the last hope for our beloved core four to restore harmony to the hallowed halls of Harbor High."
