It's supposed to be simple. One week. A road trip. Point A to B. But everyone knows what they say about best-laid plans... Running from her family's expectations, art student Samantha Millson enjoys some independence in San Francisco. When tragedy strikes, Sammy sets off for her childhood home, swallowing her pride and silencing her fears. She is both comforted and stressed that this time, her road trip won't be solo. Adam Fallon refuses to tether himself to anything or anyone. Enlisting in the military straight out of high school, he has defied attachments, be they a job, a home-or one woman. But he commits for a week as co-pilot on a road trip across the country with his best friend's younger sister. Reunited on this drive, they are uncertain in the face of chemistry. Together, they face dark memories of Sammy's past, and challenge Adam's antipathy to settling down.
