It's just what he needs - a place where no one knows what happened back home.
All that changes, though, when he meets Rose. She's passionate, ambitious and has big dreams about making it as a journalist. But like Jake, she's struggling to break free from her own dark past and the chains that bind her to Summerland, and there's only so far she can run before her demons catch up.
When Rose's brother dies in a car accident, both of their worlds are turned upside down. Rose and Jake must make a choice. Do they follow their dreams or follow their hearts - and what happens if they can't agree on the answer?
