Brooklyn Ryves has her shit together eighty-five percent of the time. As the newest (and youngest) teacher and choreographer for Winston School of Dance, Brooke earns just enough to get by living with her childhood best friend, Sophia. Like Brooke, Sophia doesn't make a fortune at her job as a secretary for a major media network, but they get by. Life is predictable, but good. That is, until Sophia invites her to spend a month with her family back home in Cederwood Glen.

Catherine Brier feels as trapped as she did in High School, even though she's going back for her third year of college in the fall. Forced to live with her conservative Christian parents over summer vacation, Cassie has to navigate her family's constant disapproval while keeping her sexuality a secret. Just when she thinks things can't get any more complicated, Cassie discovers that her golden-child sister and her roommate (also Cassie's gay awakening and first childhood crush) are coming back to Cederwood for the entire month of July.

Cassie fully plans on spending as much time away from her house, her family, and her old crush as physically possible. Unfortunately, her sister's friend has other ideas, and the two end up tangled in a web of lies, lust, and maybe even love.
