In the summer of 2000, Juniper Willis finds herself in Utah's countryside, seeking solace after a traumatic experience in Seattle. Armed with only her digital camera and a heart full of dreams, she befriends Roy Caddell, the Ranch owner's spirited son who longs to break free from his rural confines. And everything is fine again...until it isn't. For Roy, life has always been about freedom and fun, far away from the constraints of his family's ranch. But meeting Juniper that fateful June changes everything. Her sudden departure leaves him with questions and nothing is the same for the next fifteen years. What begins as a friendship in Ranch Caddell evolves into a profound connection that shapes their lives. Every five years, in the month of June, their paths cross in unexpected ways. They face the struggles of growing up, learn the importance of timing, and realize escaping each other is the hardest task of it all.
