Exploring Eden centers around Eden as she transitions from her stay in a mental hospital in her teenaged years to running away while being transported back to her parents to adult Eden beginning her new life. Eden can see and hear the dead, she can sense emotions from most people and has visions when sleeping and when she makes contact with other people at times. She is frustrated by her inability to control these gifts. 

Eden develops a quick friendship with Journey and the Puram twins at work. After she begins dating Anaiah, Sean becomes a close friend to Eden as well.

Journey has been friends with the Puram twins for the last 3 years since she moved to Angelina, Texas to help her parents. Journey initially attended an art program in New York State prior to her parents buying the RV park outside of town. Her father moved them there to start a commune. Journey moved to a program at University of Texas to help her dad during school breaks. Journey sells her art online but works retail to have regular income. 

Journey enjoys her alone time, but is willing to give it up if it means time with Jayse or Eden.

Journey is hesitant to trust Eden's new boyfriend, but after she learns that he can take a joke, she accepts him.  Journey appreciates Sean's ability to make a foul mouthed inappropriate joke about any serious matter, but has difficulty taking him serious at times.

Anaiah's fears of being some creepy jerk keep him from moving the relationship forward. Once he learns that Eden has just as much if not more baggage as him, he begins to open up to her more. He realizes things are moving fast, but it feels like fate or God is moving everything together, so he runs with it.
