She returns home heartbroken but stronger — and finally at peace with being 40, single, and happy on her own.

When she returns home, she tries to move on, but Kyle follows her to Seattle. They continue seeing each other, but the age gap and life stage differences create tension. Jackie eventually decides to go back to Hawaii to be with Kyle, but he reveals he’s seeing someone else his age.

Jackie Laurens is a recently divorced 40-year-old mother of two, living in Seattle. She goes on a trip to Hawaii to celebrate her birthday with friends. There, she meets Kyle , a handsome, adventurous 32-year-old surf instructor.

Despite their age difference, they begin a passionate romance. Jackie feels alive again, but struggles with balancing this new relationship, her kids, her ex-husband (who quickly moved on with a younger woman), and society’s judgment.
