17-year-old Sadie Hudson flies under the radar.

As the much younger, surprise addition to the family of six, she enjoys a certain level of freedom. Her older, career-oriented parents don't attempt to micromanage her life. In many ways, she's a bit of an empty nester as her three older siblings have already moved out and started their own careers.

With senior year upon her, she's determined to make the most of her last year of high school, even if she's unsure about what to do post-graduation.

Enter 23-year-old Tristan Matthews.

The very attractive guy she meets through her friend, Dustin. Sadie is instantly mesmerized by him. Despite their six-year age gap and lifestyle differences, Sadie can't help but develop intense feelings, even if he's not immediately on board with any sort of romantic connection.

Sadie must navigate her last year of school with the complexities of her budding crush, all while trying to confront her own indecision about what to do when it all comes to end.

Caught between the traditional path forward and an uncharted future, Sadie must decide what-and who-is truly worth chasing.
