Liza McCullen weiß, dass sie ihrer Vergangenheit nicht entfliehen kann. Doch in dem kleinen beschaulichen Örtchen Silver Bay an der Küste Australiens hat sie ein Zuhause gefunden für sich und ihre Tochter Hannah. Die unberührten Strände, der Zusammenhalt in der kleinen Gemeinde und die majestätischen Wale, die in der Bucht leben, bedeuten ihr alles. Täglich fährt sie mit ihrem Boot raus aufs Meer und bietet Walbeobachtungstouren an für die wenigen Touristen, die sich nach Silver Bay verirren.

Der gutaussehende Fremde in den zu schicken Klamotten passt nicht nach Silver Bay, und niemand ahnt, dass er Pläne schmiedet, die den kleinen Fischerort für immer verändern könnten.
