Life and a gloomy surname are all that Beya inherited from her parents. She is forced to make her own way alone and confidently moves towards a better life. Two months before the moment when Beyya can finally forget about her painful past and begin to create her future, the sudden death of her mother leaves her without a roof over her head. The girl has no choice but to spend the rest of the summer on the Texas peninsula with a father she barely knows. Beya hopes to lie low so that the summer passes easily and without incident, but her plans are thwarted by her newly-minted neighbor Samson. At first glance, there is nothing in common between them. He comes from a wealthy, privileged family, and she has known nothing in life except poverty and neglect. The only thing they have in common is that they are both attracted to everything sad. This means that they are attracted to each other. A connection immediately arises between them so strong that it becomes impossible to deny it, and Beya and Samson agree to splash around in the shallow waters of a holiday romance. But the girl does not realize that a breaker wave is approaching, ready to tear out her heart and carry it out to sea.
