Synopsis
Spoiler shield

Waverly thought she had her future figured out: she’d start her medical residency in Toronto after a summer visit to her parents in Taipei. When her plans suddenly change, she makes an impulsive detour to a small Canadian town where she meets local lifeguard Blake. After he saves her from nearly drowning at a beach party, Blake offers to teach Waverly to swim, and as the lessons continue, the two unexpectedly find themselves falling in love.

What people are saying

  • wagner123456

    Nice film, the central couple doesn't have good chemistry, the locations are good and the simple production is ok. For a romance, it lacked a certain greater drama since they are only "spoken" and not shown, it's a modest film, kind of like a soap opera but it doesn't irritate us, you can watch it, it's a calm film and in a way honest in what it promises, greetings
