Ethan and Mia have grown up together on the island of Phú Quốc, their lives intertwined since childhood. Their families run a seaside restaurant and a guesthouse, making them accustomed to the ebb and flow of tourists. Though they still tease and challenge each other like they always have, something is changing—Ethan starts noticing Mia in a different way, and Mia senses the lingering weight of his gaze. Neither of them dares to put their feelings into words, maintaining the illusion of childhood innocence. But as foreign footsteps approach their shores, their peaceful world is about to be disrupted forever.
