Be the first to write a review.

Modeling contract? Check. New Louboutins? Check. Drinking and dancing at the hottest NYC clubs? Check. Friends with benefits? Check. An unsettled feeling about the future? Um, check. Pressure to begin college and an epic blowout with her best friend, turns Baskia Benedict's party life toxic. Late nights bubble with drama, her relationship with her t-boyfriend fizzles, and failing to meet her parents' expectations results in an escape to the family cabin in the mountains. Unexpectedly, her brother's friend Trace appears, seeking refuge from his own obscure problems at the rural hideaway. All Baskia needs are a few days to get her head clear, but Trace distracts her with his smile-always on the edge of amusement-and infuriates her with his seductive charm. When the rumble of his motorcycle fades, Baskia focuses on figuring out her future and nursing a t-so-healthy crush on Trace. As days turn into months, Baskia stubbornly remains at the cabin, determined to find her purpose and secretly hoping for mysterious Trace to return. After she meets locals-including getting swed in with her cute neighbor-learns how to cook, and mends past relationships, she discovers the simple life might just save her from herself. Although Baskia transforms and gains independence, Trace returns and stirs up trouble, challenging her to follow her ultimate bliss.
