Synopsis

Jack Miller is living the dream, with a loving wife, and two beautiful daughters. As a fearless Chicago firefighter, he’s accustomed to battling flames and rescuing others, but even the bravest souls have their breaking point. When tragedy ravages his world, Jack finds himself unable to extinguish the pain of losing those he holds dearest.
Fate has other plans though, when he gets an unexpected call from his Uncle Joe, offering him the chance to start from scratch. It’s a call that soon has Jack standing in front of the weathered façade of The Ocean View Inn as its new owner.
Yet, The Ocean View may offer more than Jack bargained for. The Inn’s past seems to hold a riddle begging to be solved and treasure waiting to be found. Jack's relentless pursuit to unveil the Inn’s secrets is matched only by the haunting memories of his past – a past he can't outrun.
In the midst of his newfound life and his road to redemption, a chance encounter ignites something in Jack that refuses to be extinguished. Stacey Cohen storms into Jack's life and sparks a connection that blazes brighter each time they meet.
