Julia and Romano

Two households, both alike in dignity. In Campbell River, where we lay our scene.

Cody’s the first person to make new girl Jules feel welcome in Campbell River, a small coastal community where everyone knows everyone, but can they really build a relationship amid their parents’ legal dispute over a controversial logging operation, locking them on opposite sides of an issue that’s dividing the town in two?

Her mom moved them across the country for a fresh start on life after the divorce, but sixteen-year-old Julia Anderson sure feels like her life is over. Campbell River, the small coastal town known as the Salmon Capital of the World, is a world away from the big city, the friends, and the boyfriend Jules left behind.

Then Jules meets Cody, a cute and charming guy who soon becomes a friend, then something more. Their budding romance becomes complicated, however, once Jules learns that Cody’s family, the Romanos, owns a lumber mill that’s locked in a legal battle against the environmental agency Jules’s mom leads — an issue that’s divided the community in half.

Hiding secret dates from parents and small-town gossips, Jules and Cody strive to navigate — or even deescalate — the mounting tension between their families, lest their relationship ends before they can find out how far it could go.
