Before the Tide Turns

Seventeen-year-old Kaiya is navigating the final stretch of high school with her tight-knit group of friends, all while trying to make sense of her feelings, her future, and the ever-present tides of change. From beach bonfires to bittersweet goodbyes, her days are filled with laughter and the weight of growing up.

Kaiya's bond with her best friends is unshakable, but the future looms large, threatening to pull them in different directions. When the Hawthorn brothers, a quartet of captivating college boys, reappear unexpectedly in her life, old tensions and buried emotions resurface. Particularly with Blake Hawthorn, whose mere presence challenges Kaiya to confront feelings she's tried to ignore.

As the summer unfolds, Kaiya must decide what she truly wants-for herself, for her friendships, and for her heart. Torn between the safety of what she knows and the allure of something new, her journey is one of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, all set against the backdrop of sunlit shores and starry nights.
