Now, years later, Sam is a single pastor heading for burnout. He returns to Piddock Beach looking to regain some of the joy and enthusiasm of his youth. What he finds is Aubrey. As the pair confront their abandoned friendship head-on, they wonder if they can make peace without overstepping boundaries?
