Tess Barton is stuck in a rut. Her dream of becoming an artist has stalled as she works three jobs just trying to survive. She's barely got time to sleep, and now her sister, Emma, is signing her up for a marathon. But it's not just any marathon. It's the Barcelona marathon, and they'd be running in memory of their late sister. When disaster strikes and Emma can't make it, Tess finds herself facing a new city and a daunting challenge all alone. That is, until an unexpected rendezvous in a little tapas bar with gorgeous local, Roberto.

Soon, Tess finds that the fast-paced city isn't so intimidating – and the marathon not quite so terrifying – with someone by her side. As she races towards the finish line, Tess starts to realize all the things she's been running away from. But is it too late for her to chase dreams after all this time?
