==Plot==
The show revolved around two different lifestyles that clashed repeatedly.
On one side of the tracks was the wealthy Malibu crowd, and on the other was the more working-class gang of the "Valley." When Zack from the "Valley" meets Chloe from the Malibu beachfront, they fall in love- but no one thinks its a good idea but the two of them.
After their "love-at-first-sight" meeting, Zach is transferred to Chloe's school along with his friends (due to an earthquake). The remainder of the episodes dealt with the clashing of the two groups.

|Pilot
|It's Ashley's birthday and she's having a party at her house. During the party Chloe meets Zack. She is a wealthy girl living in Malibu, while he is a lower class guy living in the valley. Chloe's brother gets into a fight with one of Zack's friends, Flipper. This leads to the arrest of both. Due to the fight at the party, Zack's parents think that he should live with his sister in Malibu. Chloe's friend Teddy becomes an arsonist when he sets his own home on fire to try and blame it on Zack. Even worse, an earthquake destroys the high school in the valley, making it so that the two rival schools must combine, and all of the valley kids must now attend school in Malibu.
