After serving in the Army and losing his wife in a tragic accident, Daniel “Dan” Whitaker returns to his coastal hometown in North Carolina. Broken and searching for purpose, he takes over his late father’s struggling boat repair shop. There, fate brings him face-to-face with his first love, Claire Jennings — the woman he once left behind.
