"But there's another kind of love. One that gives you the courage to be better than you are, not less than you are."
As Adrienne Willis (Diane Lane) prepares to send her two children off with he ex-husband (Christopher Meloni) for a holiday in Orlando, he tells her he wants to come back to her and urges her to go to Florida with them. Adrienne is dazed and confused. Her huband had left her for another woman and she was angry. She also had committed to tend a small rather isolated inn on North Carolina's Outer Bank for her friend Jean (Viola Davis) who had to go out of town.
At the same time, a very sad Dr. Paul Flanner (Richard Gere) is leaving his home in Raleigh just as its new owners arrive. He's headed to the inn for a few days to sort things out, try to explain a tragedy that happened in his surgery suite, and then find his estranged son (James Franco) in South America.
With a hurricane coming on, Adrienne and Paul explore their own personal crises with each other and form a bond that will affect them for the rest of their lives.
Scott Glenn also appears.
