Shifting Gears - Season 1

Matt, the widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop, is confronted with his most unexpected and challenging project yet when his estranged daughter, Riley, and her adolescent children come crashing back into his life.

Matt joins Riley at Carter's high school open house, where he's unsettled to learn about the "accommodations" made for his grandson's anxiety. Meanwhile, Riley reconnects with Caitlin, a former classmate, and sets her up with Gabriel.

Riley, desperate for work, reluctantly takes a job at Matt's shop. Meanwhile, Gabriel and Stitch secretly stray from Matt's vision on a high-stakes restomod project.

When Riley discovers a closet filled with her late mother's clothes, she insists Matt hasn't processed her death and urges him to see a grief counselor. Meanwhile, Gabriel faces a crisis of confidence when he's put in charge of the shop for a day.

Riley's estranged husband, Jimmy, shows up to win her back, much to Matt's dismay. While Matt struggles to get through to him, Riley finds support in an unexpected place.

A Valentine's Day visit to his late wife's grave sparks an unexpected connection for Matt in an unlikely place. Meanwhile, Riley is thrust into the spotlight for a promotional video at the dance studio.

The feud between Parker Customs and Premiere Dance Lab heats up when Matt confronts the owner over a picnic table placed in the shared alleyway. Meanwhile, Carter's need for "me time" sparks a man-to-(almost)-man conversation with Matt.

 

Georgia invites Matt and Riley to speak at her school's Career Day, where playful competition turns tense when Riley learns Georgia is ashamed of her job. Meanwhile, Gabriel mentors Carter's car project until a more urgent piece of business arises.

Riley is horrified when she finds weed gummies in Carter's pocket, prompting surprising advice from Matt. Meanwhile, Eve inadvertently lands Gabriel and Stitch in hot water after asking them to donate to a charity auction.

When Jimmy returns with a new job and a proposition for Riley and the kids to move into his house, Riley is torn between her past and her future. Meanwhile, Matt's feud with Eve flares up once again after she damages his car.
