Fighting the Tide

Cassandra Daniels is your typical college student, with the exception of the one event that is holding her back. The death of Cassandra's mother leaves Cassandra stuck in a state of severe depression and anxiety, unsure if she'll ever come to terms with her mother's death. With her father at sea as a member of the U.S. Navy, she is left alone at her apartment in San Francisco working a part time job and attending San Francisco State University part time as a Marine Biology major, trying to follow in her mother's footsteps.

Michael Summers, her next door neighbor, leaves her in a constant state of anger due to his constant partying and inconsiderate nature. When Michael realizes his selfish ways and tries to help Cassandra through her depression and to accept her mother's death, Cassandra wants to refuse, trying to deny that she may actually be falling in love with a man, who is no longer what he seems to be.

Between college, work, her father at sea, and Michael Summers, Cassandra finds herself questioning everything she has known. Cassandra goes through an emotional journey, fighting her tide of depression brought about by her mother's death, and desperately trying to deny she is falling in love with Michael Summers.

Realizing, that when fighting her tide, that "The Past Drowns, The Present Swims, & The Future Sails".
