Sasha is utterly exhausted by her demanding life. Seeking an escape from her all-consuming work, neglected friendships, and non-existent personal life, she heads to a quiet Devon resort from her childhood. Her plan involves healthy living, yoga, and finding solitude. However, the off-season hotel is rundown, and her peaceful retreat is interrupted by Finn, a similarly stressed-out, yet grumpy, individual who shares her chosen beach. With their contrasting approaches to tackling burnout—Sasha embracing wild swimming and secret Mars bars, Finn preferring whisky—they initially clash. Yet, when cryptic messages begin appearing on the sand, Sasha and Finn are drawn into an unexpected mystery, forcing them to communicate and discover surprising commonalities.
