As a divorced mother of three, forty-five-year-old Julia Jones is ready for a reboot. Leaving her marriage was one of the most difficult things she's ever done, but living on her own for the past two years has left her feeling lonely, unable to focus on her writing, and possibly regretting her decision to divorce.
An impromptu getaway to Cape Cod is just what she needs to rejuvenate herself. But the old family cottage, a place she once referred to as her refuge, becomes more of a harbinger for unexpected events than a place where she will find peace and calm. Between a flirtatious meeting with a stranger, a frightening run-in with an unexpected guest, and a shocking encounter with her ex-husband, Julia is forced to face the truth about her life. Her past and present collide confusingly, leaving her to navigate some frightening and intensely passionate moments over a weekend she didn't see coming. Julia is fighting a war; a war she is all too familiar with. A war that only she can fight. Her self-esteem continues to take hit after hit, leaving her depleted and unable to find hope. Her physical and mental health hang in the balance as she trudges through the storm that wages within and around her, leaving us to question if she will just survive or thrive through it all.
