Peyton Lockhart and her sisters have conditionally inherited an oceanfront resort. The girls must run it for one year and show a profit before they will own it. There are countless challenges and too many people who want to stop the sisters from succeeding. Among them are cousins who are outraged that they didn't inherit the resort, as well as a powerful group of land developers who have been eyeing the coveted beachfront property. It's soon apparent to Peyton that their efforts are being sabotaged, but she refuses to let the threats scare her until she's nearly killed. She calls on her childhood friend, Finn MacBain, now with the FBI, and asks for his help.
