Kelsie Newman has spent the last three summers on complete lockdown, totally unfair since she lives on Bailey's Island, a hotspot for luxury vacation homes and the wealthy families that come with them - at least on one side of the island. On the other side, Kelsie is following all the rules of summer, she's working shifts at her family's restaurant, getting a headstart on her summer homework, and staying clear of the Archer boys, who were once her closest summer friends. When her parents leave her with her older sister for the summer she sees the perfect opportunity to do the one thing her best friend Beck has tried to push every summer - the ultimate bucket list.
