Two years ago, Ramona left Sterling Point for the noise and distance of New York City, leaving behind her old life... and Oona. Now nineteen, Ramona returns to the island, carrying two years of unanswered questions, lingering regret, and a life built far away from the coast.
Oona didn't leave. She stayed behind, growing independent, guarding her heart, and learning to rely only on herself. But when Ramona steps off the boat plane into the cold rain, the years apart instantly vanish, replaced by the heavy, unspoken tension they never quite outgrew.
Trapped in close quarters by familiar storms and lingering history, they are forced to confront what was broken between them. As old habits resurface and emotional boundaries begin to blur, both have to decide if their connection was just a past chapter, or if some tides always pull you back home.
