Rose's hard work has turned a ramshackle lakeside cottage into a year-round home. She's counting the days until her brothers lose the bet they made that she'd need their help when a hew challenge arises. A trucking company wants to ruin her paradise by building a truck depot on adjoining property. Two other people have cottages on the lake, a strange man who pokes around in storm gullies, and the vice-president of the trucking company. It doesn't look like either one of them will come to Rose's rescue. City-bred Clay returns to his grandfather's Florida fishing cabin to commune with his memories and reflect on the principles he learned there. He's grateful to Rose for rescuing him from his citified ways. But why can't she see that she can't stand in the way of progress?
