Two young women, thrown together by the unexpected rekindling of their mothers' friendship, find in each other something that neither of them sees coming until it is already there, in the heat of the Mediterranean.
What follows is a story of desire and of grief, of solitude and of the fierce love between women - mothers and daughters, friends across decades, lovers. Of how two people can find each other too soon, lose each other too easily. Of Willow and Enya, and the years they spend learning whether what happened that summer was the beginning of something, or the whole of it. What do you do with a summer that never quite lets you go?
