A year passes before the tabloids discover his location, so he escapes across the Gulf of Mexico in a refurbished sailboat. During a freak tropical storm, he shipwrecks off Padre Island. Mick is rescued by Julia Lawrence, a former Dallas waitress who, three years earlier. fled to the same obscure island due to a frightening personal connection with the assassination of JFK. Mick and Julia both desire a deeper relationship, though are blocked by the baggage of their pasts. When a major hurricane batters Padre, they cling to the ancient legend in their struggle to find faith, forgiveness, and perhaps even ... love.
