Pip Mackenzie, una niña de once años, pasa el verano con su madre Ophélie en una playa de San Francisco. Aislada y marcada por una tragedia, un día conoce al pintor Matt Bowles, quien ve en ella un reflejo de su propia hija, a quien perdió durante su divorcio. Matt se ofrece a enseñarle a dibujar, y aunque al principio Ophélie desconfía de su relación, poco a poco se desarrolla una amistad entre ellos. Bajo el cuidado de Matt, madre e hija comienzan a sanar viejas heridas y a redescubrir la alegría en sus vidas. Al final del verano, Ophélie y Pip regresan a la ciudad, pero mantienen el contacto con Matt. Ophélie se une a un grupo de voluntarios que ayuda a personas sin hogar, una actividad que forma parte de su terapia para recuperar el equilibrio en su vida. Sin embargo, cuando todo parece encaminarse hacia la felicidad, el destino cruel vuelve a interrumpir sus vidas, obligando a Matt a enfrentar asuntos del pasado y traicionando a Ophélie la persona en quien más confiaba.
