Suncoast follows Doris, a teenager who has been through a lot in life already, from her dad passing at an early age to her brother having cancer that is about to kill him and a mother who is trying to juggle all of it while Doris is attempting to be a kid. Along the way, she meets Paul, an activist who is dealing with his own problems but sees an opportunity to help guide Doris in the right direction.
