Kenji Watanabe deals in roots, soil, and long-term growth. As a landscape architect, he knows that nothing survives without a strong foundation. But the foundation of Tide & Timber is cracking. Rumors are swirling that the restoration crew is unstable, threatening the funding for the entire town.
To calm the investors, they need a narrative of stability. They need a wedding. Mari, a community organizer who would do anything to save Sable Harbor, volunteers for the role of doting fiancée. It's supposed to be a business arrangement: wear the ring, smile for the donors, save the project.
But there is nothing fake about the way Kenji looks at her when the cameras are off. As the threats against the town escalate from rumors to physical warnings, the line between performance and reality dissolves. Kenji has spent his life designing safe spaces for others; now, he'll burn the whole town down to keep Mari safe.
