Zoe lost a part of herself after a heartbreaking loss and when she returns to work, everyone is tiptoeing around her and hoping she is back to her old self. But she knows she'll never be the same carefree party girl she was before. Then she meets Cian - her disarmingly charming colleague, who's working from home after a climbing accident left him temporarily immobile. As they spend the summer hiding from the heatwave, arguing about Studio Ghibli, and sharing moments of vulnerability, their cautious friendship grows into something deeper. But with Cian grappling with his own restless spirit, and Zoe keeping everyone at arm's length, there are a hundred reasons for them to hit the brakes. Zoe has a choice to make - retreat into her shell and cling to the safety of what she knows, or risk it all and take a leap of faith into the unknown?
