Against the backdrop of Malibu's sun-soaked beaches in August 1983, 'Malibu Rising' tells the enthralling tale of the Riva siblings—Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; her brothers Jay and Hud, the championship surfer and esteemed photographer, respectively; and Kit, the beloved youngest—who are all entrenched in the world's glittering gaze as the progeny of the legendary singer Mick Riva. The Riva's end-of-summer party is the pinnacle of aspiration, a shindig where the who's who yearn for an invitation. But as the soiree spirals beyond their control, as dawn approaches and the Riva mansion ignites into flames, it becomes clear that the night is more than just a party—it's a vortex of secrets, love affairs, and choices that will resonate through their lives. Amongst the revelry and chaos, each Riva must come to terms with the legacy they've inherited and determine what they will grasp tightly and what they must release.
