Seventeen-year-old Gemma prefers the solitude of an empty beach, as social interactions overwhelm her. She struggles to communicate, especially with her longtime crush, Beau Booker. During a solo trip to her favorite beach, she is dismayed to find popular classmates throwing a party. Just as she plans to leave, she is drawn into the festivities and unexpectedly ends up talking to Beau, who asks her to pretend they are close. Flattered yet confused, Gemma agrees, but everything changes when Beau has an accident and falls into a coma. After rescuing him, Gemma is mistakenly identified as his girlfriend by his friends and family, including his enigmatic older brother, Griff, who has returned home after a year. Gemma attempts to clarify the misunderstanding, but her social anxiety and a persistent reporter complicate matters. As she becomes entangled in Beau’s warm family life, she discovers a sense of belonging she has never experienced before. With newfound friends, family dinners, and a connection with Griff, Gemma faces a dilemma: how can she enjoy her dream life when it’s all based on a falsehood?
