Kennedy McAlister knew she had to go home eventually. After graduating from UCLA and unable to find a job in California, she's forced to return to her small Alaska hometown of Finnick Island to help her mother run the coffee shop they own.

But with handsome, mysterious Grey Fischer still hanging around town, a living embodiment of all Kennedy's guilt and grief that she left behind on Finnick Island, the Alaska air is nothing more than suffocating.
