Season 1
Episodes
Episode 1
Banished to Tonga to live with his uncle after misbehaviour at school, 14-year-old Jonah is causing more trouble than ever. His father Rocky and Aunty Grace take him back to Sydney to start a new life at a Catholic high school.
Six weeks later and Jonah is the leader of his new Year 9 gang 'Fobba-liscious' who defend their turf against their enemies 'The Rangas' and Jonah's arch nemesis Graydon the school captain. The boys attend Lazarus House for learning difficulty students run by Mr Joseph, a vocational-based programme where he uses violence and unorthodox methods to control the class.
Jonah and 'Fobba-liscious' allegedly dominate the school as they partake in breakdancing, graffiti and flirting with teachers. After school Jonah reveals he's been in trouble with the law and loiters with local Polynesian gang 'The Soldierz'. But at home, despite the loss of his mother at a young age, Jonah's supportive family believe his future looks bright.
Episode 2
Jonah and the 'Fobba-liscious' boys are forced to meet with new youth worker Kool Kris after being caught making bully videos for YouTube. When Jonah is made fun of by school captain Graydon at a breakdancingdemo, he plots to take revenge on Graydon's locker with the help of the school welding equipment. When Graydon's Year 7 brother Kyton picks on Moses, Jonah defends him by gathering all the Year 7 'Rangas' together and attempting to make the ultimate bullying video.
Episode 3
While grounded, Jonah and the 'Fobba-liscious' boys escape through a window and go bowling.
Episode 4
At Lazarus House, Jonah makes Mr Joseph look bad in front of the Catholic Education inspectors. After school, Jonah and the 'Fobba-liscious' boys decide to hold up the Tenpin Bowling Centre to steal the "golden bowling ball"
Episode 5
A month has passed and Jonah is settled into prison life as gang leader of 'Juveliscious'. His rival Jarrod, an Aboriginal teenager, threatens his status, but his close connection with guard Therese guarantees that he's having a good time while locked up. Rocky visits Jonah on Father's Day and is unimpressed with his son's criminal behaviour. A surprise visit from Kool Kris and Mr Joseph offers some hope for Jonah's release in time for the Feel Da Beat competition. But when Jonah gets upset about Therese's departure, a fight with Jarrod and time in isolation lessen Jonah's chances of release.
Episode 6
'Fobba-lisicious' and Kool Kris pick up a triumphant Jonah from prison, just in time to take part in the 'Feel Da Beat' dance competition with their song "Don't Be A Bully". While Jonah has been locked up everything seems to have changed and Jonah is forced to make some real adjustments.
