Bored of with his mundane life, Leo Takahashi heads to the East Coast to find a new adventure. A series of unfortunate circumstances leave him in a potentially disastrous predicament: a gay man stranded in a backwater town of coastal North Carolina.
Sellars Hodge is a farmer from a long line of farmers who has never left his family's land. He's never even seen the ocean despite living less than ninety miles from the coast. In fact, he's never done or seen anything interesting-he's never even had a date.
When a stranded motorist stays at his house, Sellars gets a glimpse of everything he can never have. Though fear of his father's reaction keeps him silent, Sellars' two deepest secrets won't stay hidden. The more time he spends with Leo, the less satisfied he is with the hand he's been dealt and the choices he never had.
Leo wants to set up a quiet, independent life on the coast, but he feels pulled toward Sellars. He hates the idea of leaving such a vibrant, gentle giant behind to waste away on that farm.
Storms, both figurative and literal, brew in their lives, and they can only hope those storms clear the path to self-discovery and, most of all, love.
