Premise
Experiencing the forbidden. Experiencing rejection. Hating your parents. Hating the world around you. Discovering what's hot. Discovering what's cool. Discovering your first true love. Discovering who you are. Growing up can be such a wild time. But not when you've got the best guys to hang out with. Five chaste young men immerse themselves in the superficiality and superfluity of adolescence over the course of their last year in high school. But as they make their gradual transition from boyhood to manhood, they realize it is their formidable bond that stands as the real deal. Starring a generation that gave rise to a new youth culture.

Plot
The series focuses on the lives of five kids - "overstaying" Tonton (Izzy Canillo), the geeky Gilbert (Harvey Bautista), the martial arts buff Toffee (Marco Masa), rich guy Arnel (Gerald Pesigan), and boy next door Adie (Aldred Nasayao) - as they try to given a different elementary school. Along the way, they encounter some of the typical adventures and misadventures common to adolescents - young love, family problems, and sexual hijinks.

However, all does not go well, as their separate backgrounds generate problems of their own. Arnel is the only son whose parents want to take over the family business and his mother disapproves of his choice of girlfriend Janice (Yash Andrea Luda), who comes from a middle-class background. Toffee seeks companionship in Christine (Alliyah Fatima Dela Riva), an older flight attendant, because his own mother, an actress, does not attend to his needs.

Gilbert lives in a rented apartment where his mother is hard at work as a businesswoman and the father, a policeman, often hangs out at sauna baths when the rent is already months overdue. His situation is also the same as that of Tonton, who has stayed in high school year for four years. Adie's in rich with Ivy (Andrea del Rosario), a girl next door who's actually married.

Reality hits the gang the hardest when Tonton loses his girlfriend, Rose (Kyline Alcantara), in a car accident while drag racing on the same night of the high school prom. As graduation day draws near, it dawns on the gang that they will have to grow up to prepare for life after elementary school.
