Set on the mighty and unforgiving Pacific Ocean amongst the rocky, foggy and forested northern coast of Oregon is a story about heartbreaking loss, rebuilding, lost love and the hands of fate winding a new and unforeseen road through the life of a single father, Thomas James and his 8-year-old son, Daniel.
