Summer Bay has never been more explosive as Lacey Miller, the surf shop employee trying to rebuild her life, faces a tidal wave of family drama that threatens everything she’s worked for. Lacey’s journey at Manta Ray Boards has been anything but easy. After a rocky start that nearly cost her her job, Lacey slowly but surely began to find her footing, thanks to the support of her boss, Molly Hudson, who offered a second chance. But just when things seemed to be turning around, Lacey’s personal demons come crashing back into her life.

The unexpected return of her estranged father, Sergeant David Langham, and her estranged sister Joe, forces Lacey to confront the wounds of her past. The resentment and trauma of years gone by boil over, and Lacey’s newfound sense of stability is at risk of unraveling completely. As her father and sister push their way back into her life, Lacey delivers an explosive warning: “BACK OFF!”

For Lacey, this isn’t just a confrontation—it’s a reckoning. The years of hurt, betrayal, and abandonment by the two people she should have been able to rely on have left deep scars. Lacey’s complex relationship with her family has always been fraught with tension, and now, she must decide whether she can let go of the past or if she’ll fight for control over her own future.

Sergeant David Langham’s return is a bitter reminder of everything Lacey has tried to escape. His cold and distant demeanor only stirs the unresolved anger that Lacey has carried for years. And then there’s her sister Joe, who always seems to show up when Lacey’s life is starting to settle down, only to stir the pot with their unresolved sibling rivalry.

Lacey’s warning to both of them comes at a critical moment in her life, one where she’s finally starting to find herself. But will her resolve be enough to hold off the tidal wave of family drama threatening to pull her under?

As secrets begin to surface and old wounds are reopened, the question remains: can Lacey find the strength to protect her future, or will the ghosts of her past destroy everything she’s fought for? In Summer Bay, it’s clear that when family is involved, nothing is ever simple.
