Fresh out of medical school and drowning in the weight of expectations, Meredith Grey isn't sure what comes next. With her mother, the legendary Ellis Grey, mapping out every step of her future, Meredith begins to question whether the prestigious path laid before her is truly her own.
In a bold move to find herself, she takes a gap year and heads to the sun-soaked shores of Curaçao for a part-time medical internship; four days of structured work, three days of freedom. What she doesn't expect is Derek Shepherd, a charming New York doctor with his own reasons for escaping the life he left behind.
As sparks turn to flame under the Caribbean sun, Meredith is caught between the pull of a newfound love and the powerful current of her mother's legacy. When the year ends, will she follow the life that was chosen for her, or the one she's beginning to choose for herself?
An accidental picture text from a stranger turns into an unusual relationship.
