Ava Montgomery, 19, was raised in a world of private jets, Parisian art shows, and billion-dollar deals. Her parents are powerhouses in the international art world- own collections in New York, Tokyo, and Paris. But while they were across the world at the Louvre for a high-stakes acquisition meeting, Ava was busy throwing a party that ended with shattered glass, stolen wine, and three ruined art pieces from her father's private collection.
Oh, and her boyfriend? He cheated on her. With her best friend.
The scandal broke Ava's social circle and made headlines across the art world. So her parents did what they always do when something gets messy - they sent it away. This time, to Carmel-by-the-Sea, a postcard-perfect coastal town full of charm, cliffs, and locals who remember everything.
Now, Ava is living under the roof of her mom's estranged sister, Clara Bennett, and working in the family's barely-holding-on beachside restaurant: The Driftwood.It's owned by her aunt Clara Bennett, and co-managed by the Reyes family next door.
She's banned from her phone. Cut off from social media. And paired with her too-perfect cousins Leo and Isla
Ava's just trying to survive the shift from red carpets to dish duty-until Noah Reyes (22) walks into the story.
No phones. No WiFi. Just work, sweat, and salt in her hair.
The Vibe:
Think salty skin and smudged eyeliner. Soft sweaters pulled on after midnight swims. Music drifting down from rooftop parties, long looks across crowded rooms, and secrets whispered over shared cigarettes.
Themes & Tone
This is a summer drenched in sun, scandal, and second chances. It's about trust, betrayal, family ties, and becoming someone entirely new. Outer Banks meets Big Little Lies, with the yearning of The Summer I Turned Pretty and the sharp edge of Twisted Lies. At its heart, it's about a girl who loses everything-and finds something better.
