Father Tim, who's now retired after years of serving as the rector of Lord's Chapel, agrees now to pastor a small parish off the Atlantic coast. But he and Cynthia are at odds though about leaving the town, and the boy they love.

Soon though, the charming island of Whitecap reveals its own cast of unforgettable characters; a lovelorn bachelor trying his hand at personal ads, a church organist with a past, a gifted musician who never likes to venture beyond his gate, and a young mom who is having an awful time with depression.
