Alexandra Onassis hates only two things: austerity politics and Danial Azad. As the only scholarship kids of their elite group at Columbia University, their heated dynamic was scorched forever by one fateful, awful night just before graduation. And in the ten years since, Alex and Danial have been on radically different paths: she crafts social media campaigns for an ultra-progressive political party; he's a rising star at a notoriously savage private equity firm.

But when two of their college friends decide to tie the knot in the Mediterranean—and to host their old crew on a ten-day chartered yacht trip beforehand—Alex must finally face Danial, and the sobering reality that she's now the only middle-class outcast in this ultra-wealthy crew. When her ideals start to clash with her most intimate desires, Alex must learn to swim in emotional waters that are as unfamiliar as they are undeniable.
