What begins as a normal day quickly turns to chaos. The chaos kicks off when she accidentally sends a love confessing text to Jess, her shift captain, and crush.
Now, she must decide how to deal with the message that Jess will inevitably read. All while balancing her deckhand duties. The ferry trip across the bay ensues, as Sadie’s internal struggles kick in. They become rampant as she copes with the fact that she may have outed herself before she is ready.
