Phil Stone's life was evolving rapidly; from his days of teaching school, to his Naval Officer position on a destroyer. When, one day during another attack, the ship was blown out from under him. His life passing in review before him; He discovered two important facts. He never left his post under fire and the sea was unforgiving. He was once again regaining consciousness as he was recovering in the Naval Hospital. His time now was being spent; healing, gaining strength and observing others. Little did he know the importance of this at present; But his life was about to become even more complex in the days to follow, all the way into the unknown. Phil's first assignment after recovery placed him as the new Commander of a Mounted Shore Patrol Station. Where he crossed paths with Debbie Hess: while she was gathering driftwood on the beach. She caught and held his attention by an obsession he could not let go of. Ruth Culp, a business owner in the small nearby town, who fell instantly in love with Phil; admired and tried to comfort him. An untidy looking, meddling Station Doctor Hawkins from town, who prescribed as medicine, for Phil to meet the mysterious loner, Len Hess who was blind. Phil's world was crumbling, who could he tell? Who should he trust? What will happen when the last chips fall?
