The Summer That Ruined Everything

Sometimes ruining everything is the only way to save yourself.

It's 1963, and Cal Buchanan has resigned himself to one more summer stuck in his parents' high-society beach community before he graduates from Harvard and steps into the life that has been planned for him. He'll be working at his father's company and marrying a longtime family friend who is the perfect wife for a wealthy society executive. It's not the life he'd choose for himself, but he knows he can't have what he truly wants.

He must keep an important part of his identity a secret from everyone.

That is, until he meets Jack Francis, an up-and-coming Hollywood heartthrob who is vacationing at the beach mansion next door. Jack is unlike anyone Cal has ever met: free-spirited, impulsive, and unashamed of his desires. As Cal grows closer to Jack and their friendship turns into a secret summer fling, Cal begins to wonder: does he have more choices than he thought, and does he have the courage to make them?
