If you're a teenager in a small, rural area, how do you exist when
your eccentric, free-spirited parents are the town freaks everyone laughs at?
For sixteen-year-old Rainbow Honeywell—or
Rain, as she insists on being called—the answer was to become the queen of
all pranks. She never wanted to be a troublemaker, but the label quickly stuck
when everyone in Huntsville, Kansas, became a target. All she wanted was to
deflect the negative attention off her parents, but Rain's plan backfired to the
max, landing her in a heap of trouble with the local authorities and expelled
from high school.
An unexpected inheritance offers Rain an opportunity for a new
beginning when she and her family move across the country to the quaint beach
community of Turtle Bay, Florida.
Determined to make the best of her second chance, Rain vows to
walk the straight and narrow, hoping her parents will fly under the radar while
she soaks up some fun in the sun, sandy beaches, and hot, tanned guys.
Unfortunately, she picks the wrong new friends, and a late night party lands
her back in the kind of trouble she had been hoping to avoid. As the newbie in
town with a record, Rain takes the brunt of the punishment when an unforgiving
judge chooses to make an example out of her and slaps her with enough community
service hours to keep her busy until she is old and gray.
Facing the harsh reality of paying for the actions of others
while atoning for her own past sins, Rain is paired up with Josh Shaw, a judgmental
local lifeguard whose love for the beach and the environment is eclipsed only
by his distaste for those who trash it. As far as Josh is concerned, Rain is guilty
and got what she deserved, regardless of her side of the story. To make matters
worse, a tropical storm sits in the Atlantic, threatening to wreak havoc on the
small beach community.
Things slowly change as Rain begins to appreciate her
surroundings through Josh's eyes, proving she is not the person he thinks she
is. Their feelings for one another blossom as the tropical storm grows into a hurricane
and bears down on Turtle Bay. With impending danger looming, the small beach
community must come together in order to ride out the storm.
