Izzy and her wealthy family return to their private coastal retreat for the summer, just like every year. But this time, there's a new family joining them. Among the newcomers is Ethan, a 23-year-old, handsome and charming. He quickly catches the eye of Izzy's older sister, Dawn, and the two seem to hit it off right away. However, Ethan's behavior around Izzy starts to shift. There's an undeniable tension between them, as if his interest is suddenly directed at her instead.

Izzy tries to push away the feelings stirring inside her, reminding herself of the age gap and, more importantly, her sister's obvious connection to Ethan. Yet, there's something irresistibly magnetic about him that she can't ignore. When Dawn falls ill and is bedridden for a few days, Ethan seems to take the opportunity to get closer to Izzy. But can she really betray her sister like this? And isn't their age difference an issue she shouldn't overlook?

Everything about their attraction feels wrong, yet the tension is overwhelming. Will it lead to a disaster that changes Izzy's life forever?
