After a devastating incident, injured and rejected, teacher Tyler decides to leave Seattle behind. He would start over elsewhere. Lake Michigan looks like the perfect place for a new beginning. New schools and new school years are the same everywhere. Or so Tyler thought, until he meets a man.

Coach Riley, with the body of a god and loved by all, needs to be rescued by the new English teacher, of all people. To top that, the two of them rescue and save kids in trouble on their first field trip to the beach.

Soon Riley and Tyler discover more in each other than heroism and wearing funny swimming shorts. Will they find romance, though? Will this be part of the new beginning Tyler dreamed about?
