Original RLP television world · In development
South Shore
Family drama
A disconnected Chicago family moves to a Florida beach town for one last chance to reconnect.
Public treatment
A beach-town move is one family’s last chance to become a family again.
A disconnected Chicago family relocates to a Florida beach town after realizing that staying together geographically is not the same as remaining connected. South Shore offers beauty, reinvention, and nowhere to hide from one another.
The series follows the family rebuilding through school, work, friendship, romance, and the rhythms of coastal life. Healing is gradual, and every new beginning tests whether the move changed them or only changed the view.
