The story follows the Secrest siblings—Elizabeth, Dalton, and Leslie—as they embark on a summer adventure at their family's newly acquired seaside property in Maine. Here, they seek respite from their recent hardships and the weight of responsibilities, while also discovering beauty in their natural surroundings and navigating budding friendships. At the start of the narrative, the Secrest siblings arrive at Steeple Rocks, captivated by the stunning landscape and eager for a summer filled with exploration and relaxation. The opening chapters introduce Elizabeth, a tired yet aspiring artist; Dalton, a practical and industrious brother; and their adventurous younger sister Leslie, along with their friend Sarita. As they settle into their campsite, familial bonds and the excitement of a new frontier blend with underlying tensions hinted at by mysterious local characters, suggesting that adventure awaits beyond idyllic sketches and fishing trips.
