But things don't go as planned, and she is off on a wild misadventure at sea.

Mila e Jack si conoscono fin da ragazzini, quando passavano le estati presso le rispettive nonne a Lungamira, cittadina di mare sulla costa adriatica. Per anni le loro frequentazioni si sono alternate a cicliche separazioni, nutrite da un'intensa corrispondenza tra l'Italia e l'Inghilterra. Fedeli a un patto di sincerità assoluta, Mila e Jack sperimentano cambiamenti di luoghi e rapporti, ma continuano a coltivare la loro amicizia febbrile, che sembra fermarsi appena al di qua di una storia d'amore. Finché Jack sparisce nel nulla, per sette lunghi anni.
