The day Sam Reid turned 17 he left his isolated, conservative hometown of Barton and hasn’t looked back since. Nearly 10 years later, still battling with addiction and depression but much more content, Sam’s non-stop life of work and clubbing is halted by urgent news about his estranged mother. Forced to return to his family home, Sam is faced with the open wounds he left to fester. Things become further complicated, but much more bright, when he meets June: a strawberry farmer living on the outskirts of town. As he’s drawn closer by her and her family’s eccentric but magnetic kindness and positivity, the walls he built to protect himself begin to crumble whether he wants them to or not. Torn between his urge to run away again and the growing temptation to reroot, Sam must confront who he once was to become who he wants to be.
