In the heart of the South, Lainey Ann, Beaumont lives a life shaped by her family's wealth and her father's strict, often unyielding rules. Surrounded by the comforts of their grand estate, Lainey feels trapped between the world her father built for her and the restless curiosity that pulls her toward the unknown.
When the Calloway brothers, Rhett and Jesse, cross her path, Lainey finds herself drawn to them in ways she can't explain. Rhett, in particular, with his quiet strength, rough edges, and the pain that lingers in his eyes, seems both unreachable and magnetic. But her father warns her to stay away, forbidding her from associating with people like the Calloways, poor, troubled, and from the wrong side of the tracks.
As Lainey spends her summer trying to balance the expectations of her father and her own growing desires for independence, she must navigate the complexities of family loyalty, friendship, and the pull of forbidden attraction. The closer she gets to Rhett, the more she questions who she is-and who she is meant to be in a world that demands conformity.
