Nine years after the Pogues' high school graduation, Charlotte has built the life she always dreamed of - a respected Public Defender in Kildare, just like her father. She has purpose, stability, and a career she's proud of. But when a new case lands on her desk, everything shifts. The defendant is JJ Maybank - the boy who once meant everything to her, and the one she never truly let go. Caught between the professional and the personal, Charlotte is forced to confront the past she thought she'd buried. As she fights to defend JJ in the courtroom, she's also fighting the unresolved feelings between them - and the weight of how things ended years ago. Told across two timelines - the present day and their final year of high school - Back to You is a story of first love, second chances, and the ties that never really break.
