VENTURA, Calif. - Californer -- Lee, Ava, and Dr. Watson all have a taste for Della's special-order eggs and the wise counsel she serves up at the Waffle Diner.

Le'Angelo "Lee" Brooks, a streetwise and sharp kid who was raised by his grandmother, is devastated after his parents are killed by a drunk driver. When his parents' killer, Rogan Stone, is released on good behavior, Lee is hellbent on avenging his parents' death, despite warnings from his older brother, Jonas, and his wise-but-nosy neighbor, Neru.​
