When Hogan is forced to spend a weekend at his dad's new girlfriend's house in the countryside, he isn't expecting much beyond awkward conversations and simmering resentment. But when he meets Raphaella, his soon-to-be stepsister, everything changes.
Raphaella is quiet, guarded-just like Hogan. They both resent the idea of their parents' relationship, but as they're thrown together to entertain Hogan's little sister, an unexpected connection begins to grow. Hogan finds himself drawn to Raphaella in ways he never expected, even though he knows it's wrong. After all, he already has a girlfriend, and Raphaella could soon be family.
As Hogan grapples with grief, loyalty, and forbidden feelings, he must navigate the blurred lines between family and something more. But as the tension between them rises, Hogan realizes that Raphaella might be feeling the same way. In a world where everything seems to be changing too fast, Hogan will have to decide what matters most: the family he's trying to hold onto, or the connection he can't ignore.
