Summary: Stevie and Nora had their future all figured out. Their secret plan was to leave behind their conservative small town in Pennsylvania after high school graduation so they could live their love out loud in California. But when Stevie has a terrible fall and can’t remember anything about the last two years of her life, Nora is the only one who knows anything about their relationship and what they were planning. As Stevie tries to understand who she is post-accident and why everything in her life feels a little off, the question becomes: Can the two of them find their way back to each other?
