　　自出生起就被双亲遗弃的波特兰少女Lux，在她16岁生日到来之际，终于结束了辗转于各寄养家庭的生活。她找到了自己的生父 Nate Bazile，并惊闻自己的生母是当地电台热门节目的主持人Cate Cassidy。命运的安排使得三人又走到了一起，法官裁定Lux将交给 Baze和Cate共同抚养，从而补偿Lux从未得到过的家庭温暖。

　　在上一季末，Baze似乎逐渐理顺了自己的生活，告别了不负责任的滥情，和父亲冰释前嫌，和Lux的男友Bug关系融洽。Lux则向Ryan表达了她对于与Cate 和Baze在一起时的归属感的向往，Ryan表示理解。与此同时，Baze终于意识到了自己对Cate的感觉，决定勇于面对这份感情。然而Cate似乎已经大彻大悟，明白自己心之所属，最终和Ryan走入了婚姻的殿堂。就在最后时刻，Baze破门而入，出现在教堂，但Cate依然坚定地吻向新郎Ryan，一切似乎已成定局…

　　This drama is set in a south Florida plastic surgery center, McNamara-Troy, centering around the two doctors who own it. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) is having problems at home, trying to keep his family together, trying to patch up the rocky road him and his wife Julia (Joely Richardson) are experiencing. On the other hand, sex-craved Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) uses his charm to bring in potential female candidates and conducts shady business deals, often for the love of money. While Sean takes his job seriously, he often has to fix Christian's mistakes. During the first season, Sean and Christian got mixed up with Escobar Gallardo, a Colombian drug lord who forced the two to do free surgery whenever he wanted them to. Sean's marriage with Julia began to wear thin, and Sean had an affair with a patient named Megan O'Hara. Julia went back to school, but it was interrupted by a miscarriage of a child Sean and Julia were trying to have. Christian learned he is the father of a baby with a woman named Gina, who he met at Sexaholics Anonymous. When the baby was born, we learn that the baby is African-American, and therefore not his. Julia questions Matt's paternity.
