Owen Lawry's definition of "permanent" fits the VW bus that takes him from one gig to the next. He makes his living as a touring singer-songwriter and fully enjoys his lifestyle as a single man without commitments. However, when he meets Laura McCarthy and helps her land a job as the manager of her grandparents' hotel on Gansett Island, he realizes that having a roof over his head and a beautiful woman in his bed can be quite appealing. Laura, who discovered that her newlywed husband Justin was still seeing other women, had only come to Gansett Island for her cousin Janey's wedding. But after meeting Owen and taking charge of the renovations at the Sand & Surf Hotel, she decides to stay. As autumn slowly approaches, something special develops between Laura and Owen.
