Plot

The official synopsis reads: "Elli (Aly Michalka) is a real estate development project manager who’s been sent by her company to the quaint, seaside Connecticut town of Sand Dollar Cove to acquire the beachfront property they’ve chosen for their new resort. Brody (Chad Michael Murray), the charming local who holds the deed, wants to make sure the town’s beloved pier where many memories have been made over the years remains intact. An undeniable connection between Elli and Brody grows as they spend time together while Elli tries to find a way to make the deal work. As Elli becomes more invested in the town of Sand Dollar Cove and its people, she’s inspired to create a design that could make everyone happy, both in business and in love."

The basic storyline is crystal clear - boy-meets-girl, initial tension, friendship, love, misunderstanding, and a classic reunion. But trust Hallmark to bring in new twists just to spice things up a little.
