Dalton’s fundraiser auction was supposed to raise money for snow-season emergency supplies.

It was not supposed to send a bus full of locals to Maine’s most confusing landmark: a literal desert.

When Otis Gilbert—Dalton’s calm, tender herbalist and owner of Juniper & Jar—gets drafted as the trip’s designated “calm adult,” he expects sunscreen reminders, hydration checks, and maybe one minor crisis involving Moxie and Needhams.

What he doesn’t expect is his co-chaperone: Graham Barton, a brilliant, blunt pastry chef who fled Portland after a very public kitchen meltdown and believes desserts are science and feelings are a hazard.

Graham is here to provide a picnic dessert spread.
Otis is here to keep everyone alive.
Dalton is here to ask invasive questions as cardio.

Between sand that gets into everything, a town that treats boundaries like a group project, and a desire neither man planned for, Otis and Graham discover that running away and running toward something can look suspiciously similar—until you choose where you’re actually staying.

Deserts are real.
So are second chances.
