Maddie Moore heeft één heilige overtuiging: chips is het antwoord op alles. Maar nadat ze in één klap haar vriendje kwijtraakt (haar eigen beslissing) en haar baan (totáál niet haar eigen beslissing), besluit ze eens níét haar problemen weg te eten met zakken vol chips. In plaats daarvan verlaat ze LA om een nieuw leven te beginnen in het kustplaatsje Lucky Harbor, waar ze samen met haar twee halfzusjes een resort heeft geërfd van haar excentrieke hippiemoeder. Bij aankomst blijkt het woord ''resort'' schromelijk overdreven voor het hotel, de kleine jachthaven en het minihuisje voor de eigenaar. Bovendien verkeert de boel in belabberde staat. Het kost Maddie nog heel wat overtuigingskracht - en drie flessen wijn - om haar zusjes te laten inzien dat ze het resort moeten laten renoveren. De aannemer die ze inhuurt is de lange, donkere en onwaarschijnlijk sexy Jax Cullen. Wanneer hij haar voor het eerst aankijkt vanonder zijn belachelijk lange wimpers, weet ze dat ze het moeilijk gaat krijgen.
