Set on the stunning Carribean island of St. Martin, the story centers around the Sommer and the Philips clans, both prominent, powerful families in competition for dominance. The Philips patriarch, Cristof, makes an attempt at reconciliation, but as the attraction between Ocean Sommers and Cristof's daughter Maxine becomes apparent, the feud is reinforced even more strongly. Defying her family's wishes, Maxine braves a hurricane to join Ocean for a secret rendezvous, and the two share a night of illicit passion. When Maxine's brother is killed on a scuba diving trip, the blame is pinned on Ocean, and Maxine's fiance endeavors to put him behind bars. He'll do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, but Maxine is prepared to make any sacrifice to see that it doesn't happen. [More]

  • A forbidden love affair blossoms on the gorgeous Caribbean island of St. Martin in this juicy tale of two feuding families vying for control of the island. Family patriach Cristof Philips (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) attempts to bring the Philips and Sommers families together, but tempers flare when sparks fly between hunky island adventurer Ocean Sommers (Michael McLafferty, General Hospital) and exotic beauty Maxine Philips (Michael Michele, E.R.) newly engaged to another man. Maxine's family warns her: "This Ocean has a riptide and he will drag you under!," but nothing can stop her from running out in a hurricane for a secret, rain-soaked night of passion! Tensions grow when Ocean is accused of murdering Maxine's brother Chris in a scuba-diving mission for a cursed treasure, while her fiance is determined to see Ocean behind bars for the rest of his life. Now Maxine will do anything -make any sacrifice - as chaos erupts when the shocking truth behind Chris' death and long-hidden family secrets are revealed.
