Lila, a talented but guarded marine biologist, returns to her childhood hometown to study the impact of climate change on the local ecosystem. She bumps into Owen, a rugged, warm-hearted boat captain who has lived in the town all his life. Both are haunted by past heartbreaks but find themselves slowly drawn together amid the salty sea breeze and the quiet beauty of the harbor. As they navigate their past wounds and the challenges threatening the town’s future, Lila and Owen discover that love can be the strongest tide of all.
