After burning their house down, Luna’s hippie parents get a job in her student dorm, at which point Luna goes from having to parent her parents to parenting a whole building of teens. Luna’s parents quickly run out of money and put their burnt house on the market, to no avail. To help, Luna starts a business in the dorms.

During the season, Luna struggles with her romantic feelings towards her roommate and finds out her classmate and swim team captain, Žaži, is actually her half brother. This secret eventually separates Luna's parents, leaving Luna and her father to take care of the dorms by themselves. Overwhelmed, Luna goes to seek guidance from her mentor, Uroš, who is inappropriate with her.

At the end of the season, Luna's parents reunite over their fight with the school board, insisting Uroš be fired. The Tjulen family then find out they finally have a buyer for their family hostel, who is willing to let them keep running it, in exchange for them joining his cult.
