Champion surfer Nikki Young hasn’t ventured into the ocean since almost drowning a year ago.

When she flies to Hawaii during her Christmas vacation to compete in a video contest showcasing the scenic shores, she hopes her fear of the ocean won't ruin her chances. Winning the prize money would enable her to fulfill her dream of owning her own physical therapy office.

Surfboard designer Julian Vaughn needs to get back to shaping boards after a surfing injury, but months of therapy have been unsuccessful. And the romances? After his long-time girlfriend shredded his heart, he wants nothing to do with them.

When a fourteen-year-old matchmaker introduces Nikki and Julian, they recognize each other from high school and a spark ignites. Nikki offers her therapeutic expertise to her former high school crush, and in return, Julian guides her to the most picturesque locations for her film.

Julian fights his growing attraction to the surfing siren, while Nikki wonders if Julian is ready to commit to a relationship.

Will love help overcome their obstacles and heal them, or will their fears send Nikki home?
