This summer is Frankie’s. She’s an overprepared black lesbian, and her rugby team is a few months away from doing the unthinkable: being promoted to the Championship. Somehow, she’s still happy, healthy and at least half alive. To get here, she’s spent her entire life with structure. All she needs to do is stick it: take her pills, coach the Titans, and sleep with a different woman each week.

And then she meets Jasmine, and she’s never prepared for something like her.

Jasmine is using this summer as a fresh start. She’s spent her life hiding who she is, and she’s not doing it anymore. She packs up her children and runs to the prettiest place she can find. Toulshire is cute, so starting her life over at almost thirty isn’t the worst thing she’s ever had to do. But it turns out that making friends as an adult is.

Then she meets Frankie at a bar, Jasmine thinks she’s finally figured it out.

Until Frankie leaves without a word, and Jasmine attempts to forget all about her and her ridiculous arms. Meanwhile, Frankie’s desperately trying to figure out how to see her again. But Jasmine’s son joining the Titans’ junior team is something neither saw coming.

This summer is supposed to change their lives. But will it be for the better, or are they headed for a breakdown?
