Determined to fulfil her dead father's wishes and to continue his business, May has her work cut out for her during her summer on the beach.

Staying with a local family, she not only enjoys the silvery sand and sunshine; she also experiences first love, partings and reunions. And, before long, realises that performing might be in her blood....
