Ally Russo, a ballet star, has strived for perfection all her life. After an injury that jeopardizes her career, the girl returns to her hometown, where she is faced not only with the pain of the past, but also meets the man she still can't forget.

Hudson Ellis is a serious, dedicated Coast Guard lifeguard. Once he opened his heart to Ally, and she broke his. Now old resentments prevent Hudson from getting closer to the only woman he has ever loved.

The past and present of the characters are intertwined with secrets. Feelings that seemed forgotten flare up with new force. But the truth will either unite Ally and Hudson, or separate them forever.
