They’ll never forget Adam, even though Jason doesn’t like to talk about the past, and happiness feels just around the corner. Until Madeline is saved by a stranger on the beach. As she gazes at his familiar features, she could swear he's Adam. Her Adam. It’s been ten years since Adam died. And the man says his name is Garrett. He’s kind, but distant.
