Katie, the queen bee of her small beach town, has it all: friends, popularity, and a seemingly perfect life. But beneath her confident exterior, she hides her true passion-photography. With one final summer before college, she's determined to make it unforgettable. Max, the quiet artist with a troubled past, is ready to spend another summer in solitude, painting away his worries. But when his carefree friend Jamie proposes a bet to liven things up, Max reluctantly agrees: make Katie fall in love with him by the end of summer, or face a humiliating public challenge. At first, Katie sees Max as just another summer fling, but their unexpected bond deepens over shared late-night adventures and creative projects. Slowly, they begin to uncover each other's secrets, realizing they are more alike than they thought. Just as Katie starts to fall for him, she discovers the truth about the bet and feels betrayed. Now, Max must find a way to prove his love is real-before the summer ends, and Katie slips away forever. Can love that started as a game turn into something real? Or will this summer bet tear them apart?
