Quinn is a successful artist creating new works for an upcoming exhibition. She lives on the coast with Marcus, a vet who left his marriage for her and, as a result lost contact with his young daughter Audrey. Entering their lives is Callum, a deep-sea diver with a love of the ocean. As the countdown to Quinn's exhibition progresses, each must face challenges and make choices that will test loyalties and have far-reaching consequences for their future.
