Tonight is the night of the Riva siblings' legendary end-of-summer bash—an epic blowout hosted by Nina, Jay, Hud, and Kit, children of infamous rock icon Mick Riva. By dusk, their cliffside mansion will throng with celebrities, surfers, and hangers-on. But beneath the carefree glamour, a lifetime of secrets presses in: Nina’s public heartbreak, Jay's looming competition, Hud’s hidden love, Kit’s search for identity. As hours tick down and the music amps up, watch the perfectly curated facade begin to crack. Decades of family tension—fueled by their parents' volatile legacy, forbidden desires, and unspoken betrayals—are set to ignite. Before the sun rises, the Riva mansion will be engulfed in flames, but the real inferno happens long before the first spark, as one unforgettable night forces four siblings to confront the wreckage of their past.
