|summary=It’s the summer before college, and Emeline wants it to be a summer of new things. Just like the tourists who visit her hometown of Colby for the beach, she wants to be able to try out different sides of herself. But new beginnings don’t leave much room for her last summer at home.

Emeline is a conscientious student, works hard for her family's realty business, and loves her long-term boyfriend Luke. But as college draws near she wonders if there is something she has missed by living year-round at the beach. When other people come to the beach, they get to leave their real selves behind and try on a new persona. Her mom had her young and has always tried to provide Emeline with everything she could need. When a filmmaker’s assistant, Theo, comes into town, Emeline is intrigued by him and his very different New York City lifestyle. Maybe she does want something more than what her old life has offered.
