Based on Ali Novak's popular WattPad novel, the series follows 15-year-old Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) as she trades the hustle and bustle of New York City for a rural ranch in Silver Falls, Colorado following a family tragedy. Moving in with her mother's college best friend, Katherine (Sarah Rafferty), Jackie joins the ten kids she already looks after, including two very different brothers: the mysterious Cole (Noah LaLonde) and bookish Alex (Ashby Gentry).

What happens in My Life with the Walter Boys season 3? 

The last time we saw the Walters, Jack and Cole had finally admitted their feelings for one another, only for Alex to overhear. But their conversation was abruptly interrupted when Jack and Alex's dad George was rushed to hospital.

In season three, the fallout from George's medical emergency makes the Walters realise what's important.

The synopsis continues: "With their love lives still hanging in the balance, Alex turns to his new rodeo riding team, and Cole gets back in the driver's seat of his life, literally, when a race car driver sees potential in him. Meanwhile, Jackie pours her heart into developing the town's community space. But when a childhood friend arrives from New York, the life she left behind proves harder to forget than she expected."

My Life With the Walter Boys is available to stream on Netflix.
