Pond Naravit has spent his whole life in Baan Sai Lom, a quiet seaside town where the tides always return and life moves at a familiar, unchanging pace. He helps his family run their small fishing business, content with the sea and the certainty of belonging in a place where everyone knows everyone. But as the years pass, Pond feels like he's been standing still, watching the waves move while he stays in place. His childhood friends have left to chase their dreams, yet he remains-until Phuwin Tangsakyuen arrives, a stranger with tired eyes, carrying nothing but a backpack and a need to disappear. Meanwhile, First Kanaphan and Khaotung Thanawat were once inseparable, two boys who knew every inch of their seaside town-and each other's hearts. But when Khaotung left to chase his dreams, First stayed behind, bound by family and duty. Years passed, and First buried what they once had beneath the quiet rhythm of his life. Now, Khaotung is back, camera in hand, drawn home by a project he never expected to take. Their reunion is anything but simple-old wounds resurface, unspoken words linger, and the distance between them feels both vast and painfully close. As the town prepares for its annual festival, both Pond and Phuwin, First and Khaotung find themselves caught in the tide of love, loss, and second chances. Some are just beginning, unsure of what their hearts are trying to tell them. Others are trying to mend what was broken, wondering if love that never got its chance can still find a place to rest.
