Lacey Farmer ditches her dysfunctional family and runs away to Hawaii to win a spot on the WaveSync pro surfing team. But it's not as easy as she thinks.

Although Lacey gets help from her old friend Justin, who is coaching an all-female surfing team, she finds that starting a new life is harder than she thought.

Lacey tries to scrape together the entry fee for a surfing contest, Kai's old friends hate her new life at Wavesync, and Birdie finds out why Dawn has spent $3000 at the resort in the past week.

The first event in the Makaha surf tournament tests whether the WaveSync girls have what it takes, in the water and inside themselves. Also, Lacey and Kai discover how important they are to the other people in their lives.
