A disillusioned business executive seeking to escape from his tyrannical father's shadow and a psychotherapist with a tragic past discover unexpected healing, freedom, and love in the solitude of a Miramar Bay retreat.

Buddy Helms lives and works under the thumb of his powerful father. He's proved himself time and again to the manipulative patriarch-- even saving the company from financial ruin-- but has never had his father's love and respect. His church counselor recommends the solitude of Moondust Lake, a retreat just outside Miramar Bay. Kimberly Sturgiss is a psychotherapist whose tragic past has granted her a rare ability to gently release her patients from their self-made prisons. She's well acquainted with the Helms family, and knows Buddy shares the same emotional cage, the guarded heart, and the broken trusts that come with being alive. Will they be able to reach out to each other-- and embrace the things in life that matter?
