"I'm so happy you forgot how to swim that day on the beach. I fell in love with you then and I fall more in love with you every day. I know you'll never forget what happened and I'm not asking you too, just please think of yourself. I know you try, I know it's hard, but please, please don't give up on yourself. We haven't had enough time."

Isla Moore loves the beach more than anything else. It's a place for her to get away from everyone and her overbearing thoughts. She likes to sit in silence with a good book or go for a surf, no interruptions. After a rough time across the country she's somewhat glad to be back in a place she knew many years ago. 

Finn Bradshaw is a household name. Star hockey player (and sometimes football player) at Newport High School with a reputation he relies on. That may change when he meets the new girl in town with an intriguing story and an even more intriguing family.

Their pasts are messy. They both long for an escape from reality. And who knows? Maybe fate brought them together when neither of them had anyone left?

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?
