Before the world starts unraveling, Y/N and Robin Buckley are just coworkers at an ice cream shop—bonded by late shifts, sarcasm, and an agreement to keep things casual. What begins as friends with benefits and relentless banter slowly melts into something softer, deeper, and much harder to ignore. A funny, tender gay love story about pretending not to feel things… right up until you do.
Years later, Ramona and Oona are back on Sterling Point, older but still carrying the same complicated closeness they’ve always shared. When a third person becomes part of their lives, their friendship slowly develops into an unexpected relationship between all three. Against the secluded backdrop of the island—late-night bonfires, hidden beaches, summer storms, and quiet mornings by the water—they navigate attraction, jealousy, vulnerability, and what it means to build a relationship that belongs equally to all of them. Meanwhile, Annie, Maple, Sully, and Ellis remain close by, making life on the small island anything but private.
