What happens

Skin is an American drama television series which aired at 9:00 p.m. Monday on Fox from October 20 to November 3, 2003. It followed the tale of two teenagers who came from feuding families on opposite sides of the moral and legal spectrum. Adam (D. J. Cotrona) is the son of the Los Angeles County District Attorney, and Jewel (Olivia Wilde) is the daughter of a pornographer. The show is a modern-day take on the Romeo and Juliet story. Despite heavy promotion, the series was cancelled after three of its eight filmed episodes aired, amid poor ratings and mixed reviews. In 2005, SOAPnet acquired broadcasting rights to the series and aired the remaining five episodes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
