From the multi-award winning producers of Dance Academy and Redfern Now, comes Ready For This, the 13-part story of six teenagers, all elite within their own field, who have come to live at Arcadia House to pursue their dreams. For some it's the opportunity of a lifetime, for others it's a last chance. All are strangers, some a long way from home, and the last thing they expect to find is family.When the six teenagers move into Arcadia House, a hostel in Sydney, each of them has a different agenda and different dreams. Far from home, they must find a path through the new challenges and adventures that the big city offers while dealing with all the trials of growing up.Zoe (Madeleine Madden) moves to Sydney to attend a sports high school in the hope of fulfilling her long-held Olympic dreams. A rising talent in the ALF world, Levi (Aaron McGrath) reunites with his estranged father and deals with his tumultuous relationship with Zoe. Away from parental pressures, Arcadia House is an avenue for Dylan (Liam Talty) to pursue his passion for electronic music and graffiti art.Coming from a religious and conservative family, Ava (Majeda Beatty) must gain the confidence to accept who she truly is, as well as overcome her fear of singing in public. After her mother passes away, Lily (Leonie Whyman) got caught up with the wrong crowd. Her father moves her to Arcadia House in the hope that new friendships and her passion for school debating will allow her to finally overcome her grief. And Lily's one friend at school, Reece (Christian Byers), has a secret. An invitation to come and stay at Arcadia House is the solution he desperately needs.
