But living in The Moment can have its thrills - including a romance with beautiful kindred soul Annabel (Rachel Hendrix of October Baby) - as well as its sacrifices. And following a horrific accident and near-death experience on the island of Mauritius, Ian receives a glimpse into eternity that will change his life forever. Patrick Lyster ("Black Sails") and Cheryl Ladd ("Charlie's Angels") co-star in this inspirational true story about the power of faith, the love of family, and one man's search for The Perfect Wave.
