Doch dann taucht plötzlich ihr Jugendschwarm August Bradford wieder auf. August hat nach einer internationalen Karriere als Künstler das Vagabundenleben satt und kehrt in seinen Heimatort zurück. Dort möchte er ein Kunst-Camp für Kinder aufbauen und hofft hierbei ganz besonders auf Josies Unterstützung, an die er bereits vor Jahren sein Herz verloren hat.
