Plot

In the sun-soaked state of Florida, ordinary siblings Abby and Loren McWilliams find their lives upended when they lose their parents in a tragic accident. Uprooted from the familiar, they move to the quaint town of Glenby to live with their Aunt Fay and Uncle Charlie, owners of a local gas station and whimsical amusement park. As they adjust to their new lives, they find camaraderie and budding romances at their new high school - Loren with Karen, the sheriff's daughter, and Abby with a boy named Mark. However, tranquility in their new world is short-lived when a menacing figure, Eddie Dutra, enters the scene. Sporting blond hair and a malicious glint in his eyes, Dutra, a teenage drug addict and the feared leader of a gang of ruthless redneck hooligans, takes an unsettling interest in Abby. Despite the growing danger, Loren stands firm, vowing to protect his sister from Dutra's predatory advances. The situation spirals into a terrifying game of cat and mouse as Dutra's retaliations escalate, culminating in a nerve-wracking showdown at the amusement park where Abby's life hangs in the balance. In the rollercoaster world of Glenby, can Loren save his sister and restore peace to their lives? The New Kids offers a gripping tale of courage, resilience, and the unbreakable bond of family.
