The Weavers arrive in the postcard-perfect town of Seabrook, Maine, desperate to shed their nomadic, shadowed existence. For Elara, it's a chance to build a real home; for Ginny, it's a terrifying opportunity for normalcy she craves but fears she can't handle. Their attempts to assimilate are immediately complicated: Ginny clashes (and then sparks) with her charming neighbor Liam, while his twin sister Sadie adopts Ginny with the force of a hurricane, dragging her into a vibrant friend group. Meanwhile, Elara finds an unexpected connection with the steady, kind hardware store owner next door, David, but is also intrigued by the enigmatic writer, Julian, whose own past seems tantalizingly shrouded.
When Martin discovers Ginny's hidden scars, he insists on therapy and enrolls her in a community poetry class. There, Ginny meets Finn, whose intense gaze and raw poetry resonate deeply with her own hidden pain. Suddenly, Ginny is navigating two compelling but very different romantic possibilities: sunny Liam and his stable world, or brooding Finn who understands her darkness.
As Ginny grapples with therapy, first loves, intense friendships, and the pressure of fitting in, Elara juggles her own dual suitors while trying to keep her family's past buried. But Seabrook has eyes, and whispers start. Old anxieties resurface as mysterious events hint that their flight might not be over. Through chaotic town events, heartfelt (and hilarious) moments with Sadie's squad, intimate confessions, stolen kisses, and the cathartic power of poetry, both mother and daughter must confront their pasts, embrace vulnerability, and decide not just who to love, but what kind of life - and roots - they are truly brave enough to build.
