    Summary

    Two of the world's most exceptional surfers have spent their entire lives being measured against one another, every heat, every title, every wave another reason to believe only one of them can come out on top.

    To everyone else, they're rivals.

    But beneath the competition lies something neither of them ever expected, a reflection of themselves.

    Mikasa surfs to preserve what's left of the people she lost, chasing the feeling that every wave carries her a little closer to her parents.
    Annie surfs because it's all she's ever been taught to do, carrying the weight of a father's expectations with every paddle into the lineup.

    One is driven by memory. The other by obligation.

    As their rivalry begins to unravel, they're forced to confront the truth that they've never been as different as they believed. They're simply two girls standing on opposite sides of the same wave, searching for the same thing in entirely different ways.
