Chasing Summer is a young girl’s coming of age story set in the late 1950’s West Coast Surf Culture. In keeping with traditional beach stories from that era there is plenty of high jinx and teenage romance. Chasing Summer follows young Samantha Anne Gaynor as she maneuvers the complex path of adolescence to young adulthood. Life is pretty simple for Samantha until she has a run in with a young handsome surfer called Casanova. Samantha has the help of her family and friends as she strives to make the right decisions. Because that’s how happy endings are made.
