**Premise:**
A perpetually grumpy fisherman who is a master at sea but a catastrophic disaster on land has his solitary life upended when a relentlessly sunny pastry chef breezes into the small coastal town of Port Blossom, Maine, to open a gourmet patisserie next door to his gear shed. Her innovative seafood-infused menu requires the freshest local catch, forcing a reluctant business partnership between two polar opposites. His clumsiness—a physical phenomenon the whole town dubs the *’Clementine Effect’*—is an undeniable, public manifestation of the fact that he falls first and hardest. As their professional worlds become inextricably intertwined and she chips away at his gruff exterior, she discovers his grumpiness is a shield built from grief over a past loss, and he must choose between the isolation that has protected his heart and the risk of building something new with the woman who has knocked him completely off his feet.
