Beachside Bay is a bustling and picturesque seaside town. During the height of the summer vacation season, the action steps up a notch with a host of interesting events and activities. Beachside Bay is also the home to two friends, Ali Vine and Ginger Thorne. When an enthusiastic Ginger eventually convinces a rather reluctant Ali to sign up for the townas annual celebrated July Fourth six-mile road race, neither of them could have ever imagined what fate has in store for them. A colossal yacht, exotic automobiles, professional beach volleyball, a wealthy widow, suspicion, intrigue, a rare and valuable coin, a flamboyant yacht broker, and a dog named Putter are just some of the assorted characters that will ultimately set the stage for an unexpected and surprising finish to what would normally be just another Beachside Bay holiday affair.
