Ren hates Pearl's calmly righteous do-gooder perfectionism just as Pearl can't stand the 'burn it down' disruption Ren carries out with her wildly popular group, Out of Time and her former situationship, Tab. A loathing that's complicated further by Renee's prickly mother being an OG eco-activist turned government influence and Pearl's idol. Plus Renee being only one arrest away from serious trouble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut when fate brings the rivals together for a sweltering summer under the guidance of vivacious rebranded influencer, unexpected sparks begin to fly.
