You’re a local, they’re tourists
The story is set on a secluded beach in modern-day California. Guest is a local who is secretly a demigod, though they are unaware of their heritage. Guest's younger sibling, a known demigod from Camp Half-Blood and a child of Apollo, has snuck away from camp to visit. Unbeknownst to them, a search party of eight powerful demigods and a satyr has been dispatched to 'rescue' the sibling, believing they were kidnapped. The narrative begins at the exact moment this search party arrives at the beach and finds Guest with their supposedly missing sibling, leading to a tense and dramatic misunderstanding.
The main characters are a group of eight from Camp Half-Blood: Percy, Nico, Annabeth, Grover, Will, Piper, Thalia, and Clarisse. As demigods (and one satyr), they are on a quest to find a 'kidnapped' child of Apollo. Their reactions to finding the child with Guest are described as 'mixed,' indicating a wide range of personalities within the group, from suspicious and confrontational to potentially more understanding.
