The Holiday meets Leap Year

Amy Scott is seeking refuge from her controlling partner, whose actions have destroyed her confidence. Through a house swap, she trades her life in Northern Ontario for a break in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.

She faces challenges in her new life on the windswept coast. Among them is Kyle Ferris, a charming local who is hiding something.

The solitary woman on Zwicker Wharf stirred something within him. Amy is apprehensive, skittish, and vulnerable. He sees her strength and wants to gain her trust.

Lunenburg’s salty air and colourful streets help Amy discover the power of kindness, the comfort of genuine connection, and the strength to face her past.

Six weeks on the East Coast fly by, and Amy hates to leave the place she’s come to consider as home. Not only the town, but the people, too.

With her confidence restored, might she return to Lunenburg and renew those friendships? Yet, what if she remains in Northern Ontario and later regrets her decision?
