Storyline

You're on a much needed road trip to visit back home after being away for college when your car suddenly breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, a sheriff drives past and takes you to the humble town of Brine Bay until your car gets fixed. As you settle in, you'll have the chance to get to know seven interesting men: Caring yet stern Jean; high-maintenance and pompous Wyatt; determined and talented Kevin; masterfully flirtatious Kai; loyal and gentle Chris; nonchalant and brooding Vince and supportive and friendly, Andrew. Get to know them over the course of two weeks and learn all about them. Will you pursue a relationship or choose to make lifelong friends instead? Maybe you want more than one partner or want to see them with each other? Either way, it was clear you were meant to be in their lives and them in yours.
