Not That Bad
Returning to the small town of Layton, Kaya Perry faces the ghosts of her past, including a former bully who is now her potential boss. Armed with a degree in community development and a desire to help local youth, Kaya navigates old friendships, hidden secrets, and the town's persistent drama. Can she make a difference and find her place, or will Layton's past hold her back?

You dropped your bags in the master bedroom, claiming it as your own, and pulled out your phone. Time to check in with the only family you had nearby.
