Jessie Adkins dreamt about running away ever since moving to the nothing-ever-happens town of Newton Berry as a precocious primary-schooler.
                
         Ellis Adams dreamt of road trippin' across America ever since his next door neighbour Jessie invited him in to watch Ghostbusters after school, kick starting a love affair with movies.
                
        Now that college is over and with University looming in September's shadow, the pinky swear promise made years ago to travel together across the grand old U S of A before adulthood rains down responsibility finally becomes a reality. 
                
                Diners, drive-ins and dives are all part of the plan. As are Ellis' long list of movie locations, decidedly dicey motels and America's fattiest, fast foods.
                
        But all the rest?
        Not so much.

Gentle walks in the rain, soothing ocean breezes, hushed revelations, and an idyllic small town as a tranquil backdrop - how long until the picture-perfect expectations crumble into a mess of feelings too hard to hold back?

Just like any other small town, Reef's Paradise has its own stories and secrets. Most of such stories are known to all the residents but unknown to the newcomer, Abbie. One such intriguing story is about the Light House, located at the far end of the town on a deserted beach. There is something about the stories, and the Light House itself that attracts Abbie even before she finds out a secret, hiding in it. This is a story about Abbie's journey to self-discovery, to learn what love and care truly mean.
