Tucked away on Thailand's picturesque island of Ko Phi Phi
lies a quaint getaway called Rainbow Resort. Nestled in
among its beautiful surroundings is Patch, an American
tourist running away from his past. When a regrettable
incident causes him to head for cover, he comes upon the
resorts' owners Lek and Sarai who desperately need help. In
exchange for room and board, Patch begins a new life and
becomes much more to the family than just the hired
handyman.
When Patch's older brother Ryan, along with his girlfriend
Brooke, set foot on the island in hopes of rescuing him,
the breeze of change abruptly disrupts Patch's idyllic new
life. Despite being a fugitive from the law, Patch has no
intention of turning himself in. As the two headstrong men
come face to face, the brothers firmly plant their feet in
the sand.
As the battle of wills slowly begins to brew, Patch can't
help but notice his feelings of attraction for Brooke. When
a tumultuous exchange erupts between the angered brothers,
Rainbow Resort is put in jeopardy. As the moment of
judgment draws near, Patch must decide if he is willing to
risk his relationships with Lek's and Sarai's family,
Brooke, and his devoted brother Ryan in order to maintain
his freedom.
