Yuki a brand ambassador and content creator, thought her life was already good-she believed she already had everything she wanted. But after a scandalous incident involving her best friend, she learned to distance herself from the people around her, and from the internet itself. She escapes to a place believed to offer new beginnings-Luciana Oriental, a province located along the coastal area. It is also where a young fisherman lives. Mateo, who chooses not to reveal that he is the son of the local governor, hides himself from the corruption tied to his father's name. He only wants to live among ordinary people and let their voices be heard. Between their different intentions, they meet somewhere in the middle, among the waves and the sand-where an unexpected connection slowly forms. But will what they fight for be stronger than the feelings they begin to hold? Or will everything be taken away, leaving them both to drown?

Welcome to a tale revealing an inspirational journey from beginnings of a mundane, dead-end existence to the political global hotspot of a country preparing for war against the US and it's allies and then on to a modern day quest for love, ultimately found in a most unlikely part of the world. Along the way are thoughts, observations and emotions mixed in with quizzical short stories, pop poetry, jottings, snip-bits, enthralling images and an underlying bent towards finding the lighter side of all things which pop up in the course of events.
