Her past life as a professional surfer comes back to the fore when Juliette Mackey spends her summer break surfing the Gulf of Mexico. She left the pro-circuit when her former husband broke her heart. Returning to her beach roots, she signs on to work part time at a local burger joint to have the funds to rent a cottage on the shore. While working there, she meets a local cop named Pete Schwartz who is determined to let the world know about her surfing skills and force the younger crowd to acknowledge her gifts.
Attracted to Pete but wary of risking her heart again, Juliette resists Pete's advances and wants no part of his plans to have her display her surf skills. It's a battle of wills that Pete is determined to win. More importantly, he's on a mission to break the wall Juliette has built around her heart.
