Spinner tries to take charge as fighting escalates between Degrassi and Lakehurst, but finds out that he has something of his own to fight for- his life. Darcy is tired of counseling and just want to move on, but as the people around her try to help, she continues to act out.
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.
