Where The Tides Keep Secrets: Some summers change everything

Sam Ritchie and Lucy Calder were never meant to be alone together. Just friends, bound by years of quiet familiarity, they set out on a simple summer trip into the Marlborough Sounds-expecting nothing more than a day on the water. They don't make it back. When a sudden storm tears their boat apart, they're left stranded in a hidden cove, cut off from the world they knew. No signal. No way home. Only the endless rhythm of the tide-and each other. At first, it feels like freedom. But as days stretch into weeks, survival becomes uncertain, and the space between them begins to change. What was once easy and unspoken grows into something deeper, more fragile, and impossible to ignore. Out there, where the world falls away, they discover who they really are-and what they might mean to each other. But some places don't let you leave unchanged. And some summers never truly end.
