Drained by her high-pressure tech job, June Walker finds an escape in homesteading videos and the fantasy of a quieter life. When she finally hits her breaking point, she quits her job and buys a crumbling sunflower farm in rural Oklahoma, where she grew up. Nothing tests her resolve quite like running into her first love, the boy she left behind after her world imploded when she was 17. Between his family, his job with the local fire brigade, and a town that knows him inside and out, Noah Abbott has everything he needs --- except answers. So when June returns as the new owner of Sunshine Farm, he is determined to find out why the girl who once meant everything to him vanished without a word. As old wounds crack open and attraction flares back to life, June and Noah are forced to reckon with their past.

Ember Lee Cardinal’s job search is not going well. So when her resumé is rejected for the 37th time, she takes matters into her own hands. She gets “creative” listing her qualifications and answers the ethnicity question on applications with a lie --- a half-lie, technically. No one wanted Native American Ember, but white Ember has just landed her dream accounting job. Accountant Ember thrives in corporate life --- and her love life seems to be looking up: Danuwoa Colson, the IT guy and fellow Native who caught her eye on her first day, actually seems to be interested in her too. They start to see each other secretly. But when they're caught in a compromising position on a work trip, a scheming colleague blackmails Ember, threatening to expose their relationship. As the manipulation continues to grow, so do Ember’s lies.
