Craig Manning is a new student at Degrassi. He's rich, charming, mysterious, and a photographer. When he recognizes Emma, both Emma and Manny can't help but to crush on him. When Joey Jeremiah, who married Craig's mother (who is now dead) after his parents divorced catches Craig taking pictures of him and his daughter Angela, Joey becomes uneasy.
Like its predecessors, Degrassi follows a group of students attending Degrassi Community School who face challenges common to teen life, such as self image, peer pressure, child abuse, sexual identity, gang violence, self-injury, school shootings, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse.
Degrassi (previously titled The Next Generation) is the fourth fictional series in the Degrassi franchise, following The Kids of Degrassi Street, Degrassi Junior High, and Degrassi High.
