Chris had everything a teenager could ever want: talent, love, loyal friends, and the sea as his only horizon. And yet, "everything" wasn't enough.
Right after graduation, he set off on a solo journey across Europe, leaving behind the protective shell of his hometown and the people who loved him. What was supposed to be a brief summer escape turned into an absence that spanned nearly a decade.
Today, Chris is a different man-a successful professional forged by the world-but his return home proves to be the hardest challenge of his life. He won't find open arms, but a wall of long-simmering resentment. Forced to confront a disappointed family, a surf crew that no longer recognizes him, and a love betrayed by silence, Chris must discover if a decade-long rift can ever be mended... or if, to become the man he is today, he has lost the boy he once was forever.
