June's first love, FBI Director Holt Dillinger, is also in town, turning her peaceful getaway into an emotional battlefield.

As wildfire season sets the coastal forests ablaze, the fire isn't just on the horizon — it’s in their hearts. Tensions simmer, old wounds re-open, and a carefully kept lie begins to unravel.

In a town where everyone knows everyone and danger creeps in like smoke on the wind, June must confront the man she never stopped loving… and the truth that could shatter the family she’s fought to protect.
