The CW is an American English-language commercial broadcast television network that is controlled, through The CW Network, LLC, by Nexstar Media Group, with a 75% ownership interest in the network. The network's name is an abbreviation derived from the first letters of the names of its two parent corporations at the time of its founding: "C" for CBS Entertainment Group and "W" for Warner Bros. Entertainment. Nexstar completed its acquisition of a controlling interest on October 3, 2022, with CBS Corporation successor Paramount Global and Warner Bros. Discovery each retaining a 12.5% ownership stake in The CW Network, LLC.
The story is set in a very small American village in Ohio. Over the course of 5 years, 5 different families move in-Charles and Harper and their son Elijah and daughter Bethany as a “normal family,” Henry and his husband Daniel with their adopted daughter Mia, 34-year-old Eileen and her 36-year-old boyfriend James and their 20-year-old son Owen, who is the result of Eileen's rape when she was 14 and in an orphanage from which she was kicked out and met James on the street, Lucas and Amal-a married couple consisting of a Christian and an ex-Muslim who was doused with acid by her ex-husband, who have a daughter Rosalind, and Mateo and Helen along with their son Harry-a family of former criminals who decided to start life anew after being rehabilitated. The series focuses on their lives, struggling with difficulties, intolerance and initially mutual resentment, to which, however, the children prove immune, as they secretly meet in a nearby grove and become friends, thus together devising a plan on how to desist from the resentment and self-hatred of the adults, that is, their parents.
