Are second chances enough when the world is conspiring against you?

High school best friends Rose and Dax each have a secret—they like the other in a way they shouldn't in 1920's Prohibition Era California. After sharing a first kiss, they're forced apart—each sent to a different city to account for their sin.

Rose lands in the coastal tourist city of Half Moon Bay in virtual servitude, working for a distant cousin for pennies. Dax has an idyllic existence in San Francisco, living with her married sister. Then the fates change. Rose escapes and lands a job as a singer at an underground speakeasy. Dax wears out her welcome and ends up at a restaurant—in Half Moon Bay.

After nine years, their paths cross again. But is it too late? Will the lives they've led keep them apart? Or will Dax and Rose defy the odds and find a way to be together again?
