Emily Webster has lived in Southport, North Carolina all of her life. Being born and raised in a loving and compassionate family had its perks, and so did living in such a peaceful, calm town along the mouth of the Cape Fear River.
Emily couldn't have really asked for a better life. She was home schooled with her older brother, Tyler, and her younger brother, Connor, and at the age of 15, she began to work as a hostess at their local seafood restaurant. But everything changed a year later.
The little town of Southport went through severe flooding due to the harsh rainfalls, leaving most of the town in ruins and a wet mess. The family had no other choice but to move up north to Bethany Beach, Delaware, where Emily's grandmother lives in a beach house along the sandy dunes of the east coast.
Although, due to this sudden transfer, Emily must now attend a regular high school with regular people and regular classes. How will she cope, especially with the cute guy as her neighbor.
