Sophie Carter, half owner/operator of C and L Mod, a successful Los Angeles-based interior design firm with many high-profile and thus demanding clients, is feeling burnt out, realizing her work is not the creative outlet she had envisioned where she acting more as counselor to her clients. On the advice of her business partner Spencer, despite the number of looming deadlines, Sophie decides to take a short two-week vacation to decompress. She choose the small seaside town of Summerside solely upon learning it is the locale of the painting hanging in her office, painted by her now deceased and equally creative Nana, the painting and Nana the source of her daily inspirations. She plans to use Nana and Summerside as inspiration during this time away, finding all that Nana found special about her time there, which basically means putting away all her electronic devices and not even thinking about work. She ends up choosing an accommodation off Airbnb: Sunset Terrace. Long in his family, Michael owns and operates the establishment. Sophie learns that Sunset Terrace used to be the emotional heart of the town, where many events were held, but that changed when Michael's wife Natalie passed, he having shut down the social side of his life solely to focus on raising his now preteen daughter, Kailey. In part taking cues from Michael's neighbor and childhood friend Christine, who worries about Michael in potentially losing everything in his life when Kailey embarks on a "teenage" life of her own, Sophie, in making a connection with both Michael and Kailey, tries to open up Sunset Terrace to its former glory, both for Michael/Kailey and her own sake. As it seems that Sophie and Michael are falling for each other, Michael will have to decide if he has space in his heart for more than Kailey and for someone other than Natalie, and if Sophie is willing to put all the hard work that led to her professional success for a small town life.
