The sleepy town of Bay Grove certainly lives up to the stereotypical expectations of all small towns: the school is small, the downtown antiquated, the nearest large town is twenty minutes away, and everyone is up in your business. Oh, don't get us wrong - you can certainly keep your secrets, but everyone is still going to know what's going on. We can't help it. When you live in a town where the population is only 2500, you don't have a lot more to do than to get up in each others' business.
At first glance, there isn't a lot going on with this town. The townsfolk aren't necessarily all welcoming and gracious, but you're going to find that anywhere. Though you won't find any fast food or malls inside of Bay Grove, the kids still know how to have fun. While the weather is warm, the party kids take up the beach and dance under the stars; the nerds hang out in each others' basements and backyards; punks and druggies like to try to sneak into the bars.
But oh, the drama. Maybe it's because the town is so small and the drama is concentrated, but they seem to always have something going on. A lot of the time, it is safe to say that everyone stirs the pot - like we said, they don't all that much else to do. The biggest news came last April, when graduation bound Juilette was found, hung in the woods. Now, five months later, everyone is returning to school and Juliette's suicide is still fresh on everyone's mind. But beyond that, there's the usual dramas. Romance, friendship, backstabbing, lying, secrets, and more. The little people are trying to climb to the top, the elite are trying to maintain their role, the upheaval of social statuses are always causing a ripple of disturbance.
Yep. We're just your standard small town, trying to hide our secrets, trying to get by unscathed. But every little action results in a bigger action, and even though we don't want to admit it, everyone has a role in everyone's life.
What's yours?
