coming up for air

WATTYS 2023 & 2022 SHORTLIST |

Stella Donahue is in dire need of a fresh start.

A break. Away from the college town that's shunned her, away from the place she once called home. Her salvation comes in the shape of an old family friend's lake house and the promise of a summer all to herself. Not to forgive. Probably not to forget - no matter how hard she tries. But to continue to heal.

The surprise comes in the shape of Jacob Wilson.

Suddenly, with her somewhat estranged childhood friend living down the hall, Stella's summer of solitude becomes anything but. Though, maybe, reconnecting with Jake is exactly what she needs.
