The bustling town of Albright is located in seaside New England. Charming, traditional, yet artsy and modern. Known for its music scene and parties, the town attracts a lot of the young crowd during the summer. Locals and out of towners mingle during those summer months along beautiful coast lines, quirky shops, and great parties.
Sunny Collins is a lifelong resident of Albright. The daughter of gubernatorial candidate, Joseph Collins, Sunny is well known in the seaside town. Twenty years old, beautiful, and mysterious, she catches everyone's eye when she walks into a room. But under the façade of the perfect girl, the past two years have been a whirlwind for Sunny. She distracts herself from the void in her life with promiscuous sex, drugs, and alcohol, which are all too common in the small town. She knows things are different during the first party of the summer; the party where that stranger walked into her life.
Archer St. Martin is back in Albright after five long years. He spent his childhood in this small town, but moved away when he was 15, leaving behind friends and memories. This summer is different for Archie. A few months ago, his year-long girlfriend, Sarah, committed suicide; turning Archie's life upside down. After a few depression-filled months, Archie is ready to spend his summer catching up and painting the town red with his old friends. He knows the parties that await in his former town, he is ready to forget about the past few months of his life. That is until his first night back, that first party; the party where he turned his head for one second and saw her.
-Summer teen romance-
Isla Nova Dawson has always been the type of girl to hang out amongst big crowds of people. She prefers the company of a few people where she feels the most confident in. She thrives lost in the crowd, where she can confidently make jokes and laugh heartily at others that may not be that funny. There's no surprise why Isla has become some of the popular type at school- she loves being known by others.
Julian Hayes isn't a loner. No- far from it- he has a group of friends he plays baseball with and surf during the summer. He has family that he is known to hang out with. He just tends to stay away from big crowd of people where he doesn't feel comfortable in.
Isla and her friends find themself at this opportunity of a lifetime. Finishing off her Junior year of high school, her school offers resources to go on a trip with teenagers like her. Travel for Teens isn't a new concept but it is for the small town of South Carolina. At this opportunity, the group of people jump at the chance to get out and do something new which will no doubt be fun.
It was supposed to be fun for Julian as well but after plans abruptly change and thousands of dollars that cannot go to waste, he finds himself alone at the trip. Sure, he can go out and socialize with teenagers especially since they're ones from his school but he finds himself isolated from the group.
The teens throw a big party at the house during the end of the trip. The small leads to a boring night at the end. The teens find themself playing little games to occupy time.
"I dare you to kiss a guy you don't even know the name of," Isla was asked and soon she found herself kissing Julian. It shocks Julian to a pause, here he was sitting idly to a girl kissing him suddenly. Julian ponders on it, but then finds out that the kiss wasn't meant to be anything.
But will the kiss turn out to be nothing if life throws the pair together on many counts? Or will two strangers keep it that way?
