Harlow and Ellis have been BFFs since her family came to down to study coast erosion. They've grown up, quite platonically, together. Ellis has a twin brother, Tommy, who's never been a part of their friendship and has felt disconnected from Ellis since Harlow became such a big part of his life.

Harlow witnessed the accident that ended up with Ellis losing a the lower part of his right leg when they were young. Elli hasn't let that stop him though. His family has pushed and supported him to pursue his dreams in The Plan. Namely, excel at track, get a scholarship to a faraway college and do big things. All with Harlow.

Harlow seems to be quite the busy body. She's always making plans, arguing for what she thinks is right and trying to fix things. Even things that shouldn't be hers to fix.

Tommy is battling depression and suicidal thoughts. Art used to be his solace but medication and depression ruin it. A beloved neighbor saves him after an attempt, and then Harlow sets her sights on him as something to fix.

How will this trio make it through high school, or even summer? Will their friendships survive? Will love blossom? Can brothers reconnect?
