Barbara Hale has spent her life taking care of everyone else. As a waitress in Willow Creek's high-class restaurant, she knows comfort, routine, and the safety of staying put. But when she finally takes a summer vacation, she meets Chris Nolan?a charming, adventurous TikToker whose life is anything but ordinary.
From a delayed flight at the airport to spontaneous road trips along sun-drenched coastlines, Barbara and Chris fall quickly, sharing laughter, late-night confessions, and stolen kisses that awaken parts of themselves they didn't know existed. Chris, admired by millions online, struggles behind the screen, hiding fears and insecurities that fame amplifies, while Barbara grapples with the pull of home, responsibility, and the safety of the life she's always known.
As summer days pass, they are forced to confront the hard truths: the cost of love in the spotlight, the tension between duty and desire, and the courage it takes to be honest?with each other and themselves.
Will they let the distance and Chris's public life drive them apart, or will they embrace the risk and discover a love worth fighting for?
