Dani Campbell has become Manhattan's newest photography sensation, but she knows something is missing from her work. At an antiques barn shoot, she finds old photographs that reveal what her art lacks. The images lead her to a crumbling Gothic beach house in Rhode Island and its owner, Lawrence Sinclair. The bitter eighty-year-old recluse wants nothing to do with photography, which he blames for his son's death and his family's destruction. Yet Dani's determination breaks through his defenses. Lawrence begins teaching her what she needs to know. Their unlikely bond faces a threat when Peter, Lawrence's estranged grandson, arrives. Peter suspects Dani wants Lawrence's money and plans to protect his grandfather. But Dani surprises him, and he finds they share more than he expected. Three people wounded by loss discover that art, family, and love can heal old wounds.
