Malika Danai is pressure. Friendly, social, and loved by all, Malika thrives in college and is often seen as a mirage - seemingly real and attainable but disappears when approached. She's a party girl to the core. Loves to drink, flirt, and explore with her best friends, Ayana and Isabella. Her beauty is undeniable. With curly black hair cascading over her shoulders and golden-brown skin that glows no matter where she's at, Malika's presence is impossible to ignore. Her dark brown eyes often sparks with mischief, and her full two-toned lips often curves into teasing grins that hints at secrets she rarely shares. Malika excels at a lot of things but she was never the study type. She prayed the night before exams and hoped that her grades would at least give her a passing score and somehow, that always worked. Until now... Her grades are barely holding on- good enough to pass, but not good enough for a sorority like the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA). She wants to join. No she needs to.

Honora, known as Nora, is twenty-three years old when she leaves Seattle after a painful breakup with Isaac. Worn down by the pressure of college life and the relentless chaos of the city, she returns to her father's home in the small town of Riverfront, Oregon, planning to stay from September until Christmas. She hopes to find peace, distance, and enough quiet to piece herself back together. But Riverfront isn't nearly as frozen in time as she remembers. As the past refuses to let go, old family ties begin to take on new meaning, and unexpected faces reappear, Nora quickly realizes that nothing will be as simple as she'd imagined. Especially when Tommy (Jon Bernthal) enters the picture. Her father's best friend, her neighbor, and a police officer just like him, he's sarcastic, self-assured, infuriatingly composed, and far too present. Ever since her return, he hasn't stopped teasing her, as though he'd never forgotten who she was. And in a town where everyone knows everyone, some secrets are impossible to keep. Some lingering glances are even harder to hide.
