Skins (US) Show Summary

Skins is a wild ride through the lives of a group of high school friends stumbling through the mine field of adolescence... and stepping on most of the mines as they go. We'll meet Tony; good looking, witty, manipulative - he wants everything, and usually gets it. Then there's his girlfriend Michelle; gorgeous and clever, just not clever enough to realize Tony may not be the right one for her. And maybe the right one is actually Tony's best friend, Stanley. He's everything Tony isn't, and that might end up being a good thing. Of course, Stanley is stuck in a pretend relationship with Cadie, possibly the most dysfunctional girl ever to attend a high school... or maybe that's all just another thing she's faking. You'll love Chris because, well, everyone does. No drug is too obscure for him to try, and no sexual mountain too high for him to climb.
