Plot Synopsis

Noah McManus has a beautiful fiancee and a great new job as a legislative director in Washington, DC. But in a single day, he finds out his girlfriend has been cheating on him and his new boss is a corrupt senator who can no longer employ him. Devastated, he travels to Harpswell, a quaint town in Cape Cod, to retrieve the engagement ring he ordered and sent there for the surprise proposal. Sam and Lillian Peabody, the older couple who own the cozy Landing Inn on Fairfield Road, encourage him to stay the night. He soon becomes involved in the town's upcoming elections. Sam is up for the position of town manager, as well as selfish realtor Randall Henderson, who wants to add a strip mall to the scenic fishing village. With help from local bookstore owner Hailey Caldwell, who he is very attracted to, he becomes determined to get Sam elected. Then, he gets a call from the mayor's office in Boston. She wants him to return to help run her re-election campaign. Even worse, his ex-girlfriend arrives and begs his forgiveness. Torn between helping the town he has come to love or returning to his established life in the big city, he is forced to discover his life's true direction.
