Synopsis:
This
evocative drama set against the memorable, upbeat sounds of the
early 1960s, depicts America as seen through the youthful Pryor
family of Philadelphia as they brace for cultural turbulence ahead.
Fifteen-year-old
daughter Meg (Brittany Snow, Guiding
Light) strains against her "good girl" image and embraces
the mores of her more experienced teenaged friend, Roxanne (Vanessa
Lengies, "For Better or for Worse"), as they achieve their dream
of becoming dancers on Dick Clark’s locally produced "American
Bandstand."
Meg’s behavior
and her mother’s (Gail O’Grady, "NYPD Blue") new influences clash
with rock-solid family patriarch Jim Pryor (Tom Verica, NBC’s
Providence). Will
Estes (7th Heaven),
Ethan Dampf ("Collateral Damage") and newcomer Sarah Ramos also
star as the other Pryor family members. Joseph Lawrence (Blossom)
and newcomer Rachel Boston round out the cast.
Virginia
Madsen ("The Rainmaker") has a recurring role.
