Susan Shaw, a tall full-figured teacher, accepts a tutoring job in the Caribbean—arranged by her fraternal twin fashion model sister—in order to escape the embarrassing publicity arising from an attack and arrest by her alleged stalker. 

While Susan works to win over her nine-year-old student, she falls for the girl's single father, Steven, and believes a happily ever after might be in her future at last. 

But danger follows Susan to the islands in an unexpected guise and Susan and Steven must face nature's fury and a madman's rage before they can be together at last.
