Ruth Carter, her gentle husband Paul and their two children spend idyllic summers at their holiday retreat on the beautiful and rugged coast of Maine.
But one year, as son Will celebrates his fourteenth birthday, a sailing trip goes tragically wrong and their beautiful, troubled daughter Josie is swept overboard. She disappears without a trace.
Trapped in a spiral of guilt, grief and denial, Ruth finds her life beginning to fall apart. But fate has an even crueler trick up its sleeve, one which threatens to take from her everything that she holds most dear.
The only thing she has to keep her going, is hope- hope that a miracle will happen, hope that her family can rebuild their love for one another and recapture the joys of the past.
