A sapphic story of desire and despair, flawed mothers and daughters, and two Mediterranean summers separated by decades, each leaving a different mark on the women who lived them.

When Willow's mother reconnects with an old friend from her past, an unexpected invitation pulls them both into a slower world that proves hard to leave behind. Amid her own quiet struggles with loneliness, Willow finds herself drawn to Enya, who has returned to her hometown for the same fleeting month. Over the course of four weeks, Willow must decide whether to leave the summer behind as a sweet memory or fight for something more, despite the ocean between them and the heartbreak that may follow.

As their families become irrevocably intertwined, Enya's name resurfaces at every family dinner, and with it comes the loneliness Willow thought the summer had cured. Like her mother before her, she finds herself bound to a summer she cannot seem to leave behind.

How do you move forward when part of you never quite made it home?
