Nights in Rodanthe

Adrienne, a woman separated from her unfaithful husband, travels to the small coastal town of Rodanthe, North Carolina, to look after a friend's inn for a weekend and clear her head. Her husband wants her back, and her teenage daughter resents her choices. The inn has only one other guest: Paul, a doctor who has come to the coast to face a personal crisis of his own. As a storm approaches the town, the two share their troubles and grow close over the weekend, forming a bond neither expected.
