That series chronicled the lives of a group of wealthy teenagers living in the seaside town of Swans Crossing. Sydney Rutledge (
Sarah Michelle Gellar ) was the daughter of the mayor, Margaret Rutledge. They lived right next door to the mayor's political rival, Grant Booth, and his family. Sydney had a close but secret relationship with Garrett Booth (Shane McDermott ), Grant Booth's son; but the parents found out and built a literal wall between them and their houses. The couple broke up but still stayed in the same social groups, generating a bitter struggle between them as the season progressed.Other major characters in "Swans Crossing" were J.T. Adams (Tom Carroll) and Neil Atwater (Eddie Robinson), best friends and scientific geniuses; Bobby "Saja" De Castro (Alex Tanaka); Saja's sister Sophia Eva McCormick Decastro (
Mira Sorvino ), Sandy Swan (Kristen Mahon) and Owen Fowler (Evan Ferrante), the talented musicians; Jimmy Clayton (Devin Doherty) and Callie Walker (Stacey Moseley ), the auto mechanics; Glory Booth (Carisa Dahlbo), Garrett's younger sister and J.T.'s love interest; Nancy Robbins (Barbera), Sydney's best friend; and Mila Rosnovsky (Brittany Daniel ), Garrett's new girlfriend and the daughter of acountess .Various incredible intrigues, involving spies, first loves, phony birth certificates, and the preservation of endangered species, fueled the plots which were hilariously funny at times and powerfully dramatic at others. One major storyline that never got resolved was Garrett blackmailing Sydney with the fact that he could prove she was swapped at birth with Sandy Swan, after making piece with with Callie and Jimmy, they offered to find the evidence and find out if it was true.
