Lonstino, a coastal tourist destination, had fallen into a sleepy state after many families moved to bigger cities. A young generation of male entrepreneurs, trying to save what is left of the town and family legacies, gets distracted by Ximena Gaytan, a romance writer who moves to Lonstino in search of a quiet place to write and to mend her broken heart. Greg Walker, a widowed university Math professor, leases the top floor of his house to Ximena, and finds a friend and a confidant in her after discovering a secret his late wife kept from him. Regaining the dignity stolen by his uncle has been Jaden Stone's, the local mechanic, constant fight. His encounters with Ximena leave him in doubt on whether he let an old love from his past go too soon. Charlie Monroe left school in his teens to become the cook at the family café when his father's health took a turn for the worse.
