Carolyn Vincetelli had a seemingly perfect marriage.

When Carolyn became a widow in her late fifties, she had no idea what life had in store for her. She turned her summer home into a bed-and-breakfast that she runs with her adult son who has Asperger's syndrome.

Guests often told her of a "mist" surrounding the inn at night. They seemed to think this magical mist was solving their problems. Carolyn, never having seen the mist, knew enough not to argue with the customers. It had been good for business and solved her financial problems. But what about her loneliness?

Enter Sebastian Jennings, former rock star, recovering alcoholic and drug addict.

Sebastian comes to the Sea Mist Inn to recover from the death of his Down syndrome brother and to write music again. Carolyn's friend Byron thinks they are perfect for each other. Not so Carolyn and Sebastian.

Will they get out of each other's way long enough to find true love together?
