Not Our Summer

K.J. & Becka's agoraphobic grandfather left one hell of a bucket list for them to complete, but the estranged cousins' toughest task might be just surviving each other. It's bad enough that estranged cousins Becka and K.J. have to see each other at their grandfather's funeral, but when they learn that they have to spend the entire summer together completing his bucket list in order to earn their inheritance it seems like things can't get any worse.
