Dylan Carter spent most of her summer surfing the waves and working at the beach. She expected the last month of summer before her senior year of high school to be carefree. However, the laid back month vanishes as Alexis Arden walks into town, befriending Dylan, and insisting she could help her become the girlfriend of one particular boy. Dylan agrees to help the girl, but her life spirals out of control as she finds out Alexis has a crush on Seth Morrison, a totally hot, inconsiderate jerk who rules the ocean waves and has a rough past with Dylan herself. To make matters worse, Alexis makes a deal with a popular surfer that involves Dylan and the help of Seth Morrison, bringing them closer than Dylan wanted.
