Valle Rosa, a small drought-weary town in Southern California, is under destruction from deadly wildfires.
Into the midst of this crisis rolls a handsome stranger calling himself Jeff Cabrio, who claims he can cure the towns troubles by making it rain.
But Cabrios entrance into the community brings more than just potential rain, and its not long before the residents interests turn from the weather to their mysterious neighbour.
For tragedy-afflicted sculptress Mia Tanner, Cabrio unearths old wounds and new loves. For struggling journalist Carmen Perez, Cabrio brings the possibility of revitalizing her career by uncovering the truth about him.
