Michelle Lipinski, founder of Northshore Recovery High, welcomes students struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Alba battles suicidal thoughts and looks for help. Sam's opiate addiction hits a rocky road that challenges his sobriety.

Michelle uses a radical approach on teen addicts. Joey is a promising musician on the verge of losing it all. Alex has a major relapse and as trouble builds at home, Michelle must intervene. Support counsellors use their past struggles to help students.

Being a teen is full of highs and lows, but for students at Recovery High, the lows could mean death. Shawn can't stop the vicious cycle of addiction and detox, while Faith, a model student with college dreams, is constantly fighting the urge to use.

When these students graduate, they leave behind the support system that keeps them alive every day. Emily is determined to graduate but discovers an unexpected roadblock. John faces a dangerous relapse and Abbie decides between rehab or graduation.
