In South Carolina's Lowcountry, Eliza and Adam Stanley and Eve and Carl Landers meet by chance at the Wild Dunes resort on the Isle of Palms and start a tradition of vacationing together every summer. The trouble is that Adam and Eve share a high-school romance they have kept hidden from their spouses, and the annual trip becomes a yearly brush with what might have been. As the couples return year after year, watching their children grow up, Eliza and Carl strike up a deep friendship of their own that flirts with attraction. Old jealousies, tragedies, and revelations test both marriages over the years until the path forward finally comes clear.
