Sean Baskin is aimlessly drifting through life with no girlfriend and no real purpose. When Solena, his late father's longtime partner and the woman who helped raise him, needs a “bonded partner” to claim her invitation to Tidewell, an exclusive island wellness retreat, Sean agrees to pose as her boyfriend. The cover story is a couple in love. The reality is a remote island, surrendered passports, ridiculous couple's rites, and a severe lack of privacy. Escaping Tidewell means climbing its ranks, one increasingly sexual relationship building exercise at a time until Sean and Solena can no longer tell where the performance ends.
