Disenchanted by life in the town, a young, would-be writer arrives in the village of East Meadow. In his head and heart are ideas and dreams of writing important fiction. At the same time, a girl who feels confined by the restrictive moeurs of rural society secretly begins to plots her escape.

He wants her; and she needs him.

With the almond blossoms as their witness, the pair's illicit relationship begins to tear at the fabric of this seemingly idyllic village. However, when the word 'compromise' rears its ugly head, and the arrival of an old face from the past, what should be a timeless love story threatens to slowly turn dark and twisted.
