In an upscale, nondescript neighborhood, the Fox family and their neighbors, the Harte family, are best friends, in their closely-knit, overly-involved and gossipy world.

When Joanna Harte's life flies into a tailspin, she finds herself alone, trying to navigate through a new normal.

Justin Fox, a musical prodigy with shaky confidence, seeks solace at Joanna's house one summer, and finds everything he wants.

Dodging prying eyes, domineering family, and aggressive suitors, Joanna and Justin fall into a fantasy that consumes them. But when guilt and shame creep in, and temptation and adventure sneaks in, they must decide what is worth risking to be together.
