The accident caused Sophie's dad to walk out of her life, and left her older sister, Meredith, barely able to walk at all. Sophie is trying to keep the family business running, get accepted to veterinary school, and protect her mom and sister from another disaster. But when a hurricane forms off the coast of North Carolina's Outer Banks and heads right toward their island, Sophie realizes nature is one thing she can't control. Separated from her family during the evacuation, Sophie finds herself trapped on the island with the last person she'd have chosen-- reckless Finn Sanders, who broke her heart freshman year. He's the kind of guy who goes surfing in the eye of the hurricane, and he may be the perfect person to remind Sophie how to embrace life again-- if they survive the storm.
