Synopsis: When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family. But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport.

- I'll just go out this one.

- OK. See ya. Come see me.

MAN:
- OK. I'll see ya.

Hi.

Oh, hey.

So, I picked out a color from

these samples and I'm thinking

I might go with lemon twist.

OK. You're gonna paint

the floors yellow?

- Yeah, why not?

- You sure about that?

- Yeah, of course, it's happy.

- No, it's a good idea. OK.

- Um...

- How much?

- Uh, probably a gallon.

- A gallon?

- Yeah, a gallon.

- OK, that should be...

You know, I'll put the order in now.

Hopefully, we can get it back by Monday.

- Great. Thanks.

- All right. Lemon twist.

Lemon twist. All right.

I'm gonna need a name and a number

so that I can call you

when the order comes in.

My name's Katie and no number.

I'll just stop by Monday.

OK. I'm Alex, so you know

who to ask for when you come back.

This is Roger,

we're usually around here.

Hi.

- All right.

- Is that it?

That's it.

OK, great, bye.

When did we start

selling paint?

Today.

Ooh, the drawing looks good.

Thank you. Would you like it?

- Really?

- Yeah, I can just make another.

Aw, you're so sweet.

Thank you. I love it.

Give me a hug. All right.

- Thanks. Have a good day.

LEXIE:
- You, too.

JO:
Katie! Wait up.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Hi. You might not want the company,

but I'm headed home.

I thought we might walk together.

- Yeah, sure.

- Yeah? Oh, good.

Good, it'll keep me from

peeking into stranger's windows.

It's a habit I'm trying to break.

That and snapping my gum.

It's a horrible habit.

I started in middle school and...

What you got there?

Oh, the little girl from the general store,

she drew it for me.

- I think it's the store owner's daughter.

- Oh.

It's a flying fish, right?

Yeah, that's what she said.

What a beautiful day, huh?

I love how the light

comes through the trees.

I always dreamed

of going overseas to Europe

and learning different languages,

meeting new people.

Eating my way through Italy.

I've never even made it

over the Atlantic.

I'm sure you will.

You still have plenty of time.

Yeah.

OK, well. Thanks for the walk.

- Of course. See ya.

- Bye.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Detective Tierney, Boston PD.

Do you know this woman?

I'm sorry, Detective...

KEVIN:
Have you seen this woman?

No. Sorry.

(KNOCKING)

(DOOR OPENING)

- Hi.

- Hello.

Do you know this woman?

- No, I don't know this woman.

- No?

- She's new to the neighborhood.

- Is she?

- To the beach? I don't think so.

(WATER SPLASHING)

I saw you got to spend some time

with Alex and his kids.

Yeah.

I guess by now you heard

about what happened to his wife?

It was cancer.

A few years ago.

And it nearly broke Alex in half.

This storm's gonna

blow over here pretty soon
