Driven by a love for history and community, rugged Nick has spent his career as a contractor fixing up old houses to restore them to their original beauty. His family's legacy is the dilapidated, but much-loved lighthouse that overlooks the jagged cliffs of Pembroke, Maine. Legend says whoever marries on the grounds will be assured of a happy marriage. Cynical Nick, left at the altar by his bride, doubts the legend, but he will fight to keep the lighthouse intact.

Career-driven Lisa is in Pembroke for one purpose – to convince the town council and Nick to sell the lighthouse to her company for development. Once she clinches the deal, Lisa will nail a huge promotion and head the design project to construct condominiums on the property. Growing up impoverished and constantly moving, Lisa harbors a secret, wistful desire for community and roots, but work comes first.

When Nick and Lisa meet, sparks fly, along with fury as they clash over the lighthouse's fate. Will the lighthouse legend bring together these two determined people or will it destroy them both in their quest for what they truly need?
