Stürmische Liebe auf schottischer See. Emily, 35 Jahre alt und glücklicher Single, sieht sich in ihrem geliebten Job als Hebamme mit so vielen Problemen konfrontiert, dass ihr der Sinn nach einer Auszeit steht. Da kommt der Anruf ihrer Freundin Rebecca gerade richtig: Die Hochschwangere bittet Emily, die Betreuung der Feriengäste auf ihrem Kutter zu übernehmen und sie als Köchin zu vertreten. Für Emily klingt dieses Angebot nach der perfekten Abwechslung - was gibt es Schöneres, als die schottischen Kanäle entlangzuschippern?! Wäre nicht der attraktive Alasdair mit an Bord, der Emily den Kopf verdreht und sie vor die Entscheidung ihres Lebens stellt.
