After a near-fatal accident, Riley finds herself escaping to Rockaway Beach, NY. She is searching for a new-normal in the waves of the ocean by taking up surfing as a hobby. At the same time, Logan is searching for the same solace Riley seeks in the waves while recovering from breast cancer surgery and awaiting news on whether or not he is cancer free. What starts as two souls running from their respective lives becomes a journey of hope, friendship, healing and the realization that we are stronger than the things that hurt us.
