On a secluded beach, three lonely people find hope in each other.
Trish Evers is an artist and single mother who has inherited her grandmother's B&B in a North Carolina coastal town. Though she must sell the house, she brings her daughter to the beach for one last summer in her childhood town.
Six-year-old Bella has Down syndrome. Rejected by her father, Trish is the only parent she's ever known. Bella likes to explore and has a tendency to wander off. One day Bella goes exploring and Trish finds her in the company of an intriguing stranger.
Dan Conway is a U.S. Marine, born into a family of Marines. Now blinded by combat injuries and unable to "suit up," he feels he no longer has a purpose in life. He's come home to the beach, where he spends his days in solitude. Dan must learn to believe in himself and to love life again through his interactions with Bella and Trish. When a hurricane strikes and Bella wanders off again, her only hope for rescue is Dan.
