He came back - but not as the boy they remembered. Noah Carter returned to Cousins Beach carrying scars he hides behind a carefully worn smile. Beneath the sunlit streets and salty breeze, Conrad and Jeremiah-the brothers who grew up with him-begin to notice the small cracks he tries to keep hidden. This summer, as the days stretch long and the nights grow warm, their bond will be tested like never before. But when he mets belly's best friend Taylor everything seems to be worth it again. Maybe she's the reason to continue? Sometimes the hardest pain is the one you hide, even under the brightest summer sky.

At Cousins Beach, summers are supposed to last forever. For Belly, it's the season she's been waiting for-the one where everything finally begins. Conrad is distant, Jeremiah is closer than ever, and Steven is still trying to keep up. But the Fisher family is full of secrets. Evan, the brother no one ever talks about, hides behind sarcasm and shadows until Taylor-Belly's best friend-starts to pull him into the light. Under the glow of bonfires and the pull of the tides, friendships blur into something more, and love threatens to break them all apart. This isn't just a summer at the beach. It's the summer everything changes. 🌊 Saltwater heals-or it drowns. This summer, we'll find out which.

Every summer, Ella Conklin spent time at the Fisher family beach house in Cousins Beach with her cousin Belly. Along with Belly's brother Steven and the Fisher brothers Conrad and Jeremiah, they were inseparable - five kids, a tight-knit group, one endless summer after another. Until two years ago, when a tragic event changed Ella's life forever. Since then, she hasn't set foot in Cousins. No salty air. No campfires. No laughter by the dock. Now, two years later, her mother Claire decides it's time to send Ella back - back to the place where everything was once easy. Hoping she might find a piece of herself again. But when Ella returns to Cousins, she quickly realizes: She's not the only one who has changed. Conrad, Jeremiah, Steven - even Belly - are no longer the kids she remembered. Feelings that have long been dormant begin to stir. Old wounds reopen. And new questions arise: How much of the past can you keep when you've already become someone else? And what happens when memories are no longer enough to hold the present together?

Matilda Fisher has spent her summer in Cousins for as long as she could remember. Every year she counted the days that separated her from that place. Along with her mother Susannah, and her brothers Conrad and Jeremiah, she was going to spend another summer with her mother's best friend, Laurel, her son Steven and her daughter Belly. She thought this summer would've been like all the others, but she was wrong. Oh so very wrong.

Y/N L/N has lived in Cousins Beach her entire life, but nothing ever compares to summer. Every June, the quiet coastal town came alive when her favourite people in the world arrived: the Fishers and the Conklins. For as long as she could remember, summer meant bonfires on the beach, shared secrets under the stars, and long days that felt like they'd never end. But this year, something's different. Everyone's growing up, and the things that used to feel simple now feel a little more complicated. Belly Conklin returns looking-and acting-like someone new. And Y/N can't shake the feeling that the world she's always known is beginning to shift beneath her feet. Friendships blur. Old feelings resurface. And one thing becomes clear: This summer in Cousins might change everything.
