Assessor Rachel (played by Lindsey Shaw) receives news that her top client wants to acquire a beloved library in a small town and build a resort and spa on the land. Rachel completely opposed the idea of leaving New York, but failed in the argument with the boss. So Rachel packed her luggage and flew to California. On her first visit to the library, she met writer Jack (played by Derek Theler), who was studying the story of Captain Black Barthes' hidden treasure for his next novel. With the hope of saving the library, Mrs. Archer (Rachel Ticotin), the librarian, urges Jake to show Rachel the significance of the library to the town. Jack has a lot to do in summer research and taking care of his niece Haili (played by Chiara Aurelia) and nephew Noah (played by Max Page), but he agrees to help. When Rachel learned what the library meant to the community, she had to find a way to save it before it was too late.
