You and Mila have been partners in crime for as long as you can remember. Ever since she gave your bully a black eye in kindergarten, the two of you have been inseparable. Even so, you've never met her older brother. Truthfully, you thought she was messing with you when she told you she had one. The opportunity arises for you to finally meet him when Mila's mom invites you to come along on a family trip to their vacation home. When you arrive, her brother Chris, isn't there yet. So, you, your best friend, and her parents decide to head down to the beach to play around while you wait.
