28 parts Ongoing Amelia Dawson is a 19-year-old freshman at Oregon Coast Community College, nestled along the stunning shores of Cannon Beach, Oregon. Far from her cold Alaskan hometown, she struggles to fit in with her new life in the warm coastal town. With her bright red curls, slim body, and soft-spoken nature, Amelia never expected to become the center of attention, but it's hard to blend in when you stand out so easily.
Enter Olivia Matthews, the 21-year-old captain of the cheerleading team and aspiring social media influencer. Olivia's bubbly, energetic personality draws Amelia out of her shell, pushing her to embrace the social scene and live a little. Together, they make an unlikely but unstoppable duo, navigating the complexities of college life, friendships, and personal growth.
But Amelia's life truly takes a turn when she meets Jackson Carter, the charismatic but aloof quarterback of the college football team. Nonchalant and distant at first, Jackson finds himself struggling with his grades and reluctantly asks Amelia for help. What starts as a tutoring session turns into something much deeper as the two bond over late-night study sessions, beach walks, and shared experiences.
As Amelia grows closer to Jackson, she learns to navigate the challenges of college life-balancing her old self with the new version of herself that Olivia encourages her to become. Amid the chaos of parties, studying, and relationships, Amelia must decide what it means to truly belong-and whether love is worth the risk of letting someone in.
