What happens when the desire to go everywhere turns into not wanting to go anywhere and being forced to find a home in a small English town?
Spencer Holland's life changed the second her mom died. Her biggest dream is to travel anywhere and everywhere but when her sister informs her she's moving to England for 3 months the urge disappears. Finding a life in the new town she never wanted to find is tough until she meets Finn Ulwin, an acting student who's been staying with Spencer's estranged aunt. Finn isn't Spencer's ideal person; he's happy where he is and has no desire to go anywhere and would rather be in the moment whereas Spencer has other plans. Instead of finding what she's looking for, Spencer finds other things - some of the things, she never even knew she longed for something she needed; finding out how to be grounded, and finding comfort where you are.
