The fisherman who pulls Sophia out of the harbor has a secret and she's dying to know it but hopefully not literally. Sophia decides to take a vacation in the South of France to get away from troubles back home from her ex and work. As she strolls along the quayside she trips over a discarded rope and head over heels falls into the dock. About to be turned into mincemeat by the propeller of a trawler she's saved by a fisherman. Partly as a thank you gesture, but mostly because he's the coolest and best-looking guy she has ever met, she takes him out to dinner where she becomes intrigued with this man who seems to be only masquerading as a poor fisherman. Who is he? And what is the secret he's hiding? She wants to know. As a romance develops, she's drawn into his world so different from her own.
