Sixteen-year-old Lucas Mayview is expecting another boring week at volleyball nationals in Florida, filled with long days, crowded gyms, and far too much volleyball. But when a chance encounter with a blond stranger at the airport is followed by an unexpected reunion at his resort, his summer takes a turn he never saw coming. As Lucas and Mason spend more time together through poolside conversations, late-night laughs, and shared memories, their friendship begins to grow into something deeper. With the tournament-and their time together-slowly coming to an end, Lucas must figure out what these feelings mean and whether some connections are worth holding onto long after summer is over.
