As Pauline and the pro tour depart for Fiji, the surfer girl house-sits at the bottom of New Zealand, where she encounters snowy sheep, gale force winds, men who shape boards out of felled trees and the love of her life. Just as she holds tight to her newfound happiness, the seams unravel. She takes solace in the source of the ocean, and in doing so, discovers answers within.
