Traumatized by a terrifying underwater dive, statuesque police diver Catrina Turner abandoned her career and moved to Muskoka-Canada's upscale vacation destination for the rich and famous. She and her retired police service dog, Titan, provide security services to wealthy celebrities.

When Hollywood screenwriter Chett de Groot invites Catrina to rehearse role-playing love scenes in costumes from old movies, she discovers how satisfying acting can be. Soon she's ad-libbing passionate lines in scorching "performances." But after Chett penetrates her heart, Catrina realizes the emotional pain from her past is nothing compared to the agony of heartbreak.
