Vicky Austin spends a bittersweet summer on a small island with her ailing grandfather. As she grieves his declining health, three very different boys vie for her attention: the troubled Zachary, the grieving Leo, and the dolphin-studying Adam. Vicky must navigate these complex relationships while finding the strength to face her grandfather's impending loss. At the core, this is a poignant story about the power of love and connection during life's most difficult moments.
