Story Line:
The series is set in modern day Malibu, California. The show centers on Miley Stewart's (Miley Cyrus) life as a middle school student. Nobody except her dad, brother, and two best friends knows that she is the famous pop superstar, Hannah Montana. She lives in a house by the beach with her father Robby (Billy Ray Cyrus) and 16-year-old brother Jackson (Jason Earles). The Stewarts are Nashville, Tennessee transplants. Jackson and Miley's mother died four years ago in the show, leaving singer-songwriter Robby a widower and the sole caretaker of their children, giving up his previous career as a famous country singer. He is also the disguised manager of Hannah Montana. Miley's two best friends Lilly Truscott (Emily Osment) and Oliver Oken (Mitchel Musso) also live nearby and attend school as her classmates with her. Each episode deals with adolescent life issues, personal conflicts, or problems that are easily solved, with lessons learned by the show's end. Seasonal events in the series correlate with the actual seasonal events of the original airdate. Miley likes Jake Ryan, a movie star, who goes to her school, but he eventually leaves for Romania for four months to shoot a movie.
