Vico Gentile failed to pass his school year once again. This time, instead of failing math or Italian, it's English. Distracted by his hobbies and his long-time crush on the most charismatic boy in school, Vico's destiny was always going to be this: being left behind by his classmates.
The fourth year of high school is supposed to be the last summer before becoming adults, before the dreaded fifth year, before the infamous Matura exams. So, to honor this rite of passage, the class president invites everyone from the fourth year to join him on a 14-day vacation on the beaches of Liguria, Italy. Although Vico hoped to spend this precious time having fun with his friends, he is forced to stay home and study for the September exams, an exam that will determine if he will get to pass his fourth year and graduate with his classmates. He couldn't possibly agree to this vacation; it wouldn't be wise. He couldn't unless he accepted an offer that suddenly fell into his laps: tutoring sessions with the best student in class, Edo Santini.
After one big misunderstanding after another, Vico will fall for his own lie. While trying to protect his friend's heart and concealing his feelings, a web of assumptions and inaccuracies will lead this group of friends into a rabbit hole of new feelings, disagreements, and indecisions. Resentment and desire will cloud Vico's mind. What will he end up choosing? His unrequited and impossible crush, or will he finally open up to the chance of new love?

I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what?
...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend.
I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything?
So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right?
But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy.
