Back for the Summer

Every summer, they come back.
The same people. The same houses. The same stretch of sand. Some never left — the locals who work year-round and know every inch of the island. Others only show up when school lets out, slipping back into their family beach homes and acting like no time has ed.
But this summer feels different.
The group's older now. Friendships are shifting. People are catching feelings they shouldn’t — or still holding onto ones they swore they were over. There’s tension in the air, things left unsaid, and moments that could change everything if someone would just say what they really feel.
It’s the kind of summer where everything’s beautiful on the outside — bonfires, boat days, and blurry nights — but underneath, no one’s as put together as they seem.
And whether you’re here to hold on, let go, or start over — something about this summer will change you.
Will you come back?
