He takes on his superiors, heads for the west coast and watches over Jill from the front seat of his rented car. Jill's new boyfriend seems too good to be true, but since she's still in love with some boy she once saw on the beach twelve years prior, he really doesn't stand a chance. Now, will Ian Hamlin in her life again, she is convinced that he's the same boy she once saw on that beach and her heart is torn between the two men.
