With the assistance of Alex’s young son Dylan, a lonely boy who becomes his unexpected ally, Daniel begins to restore both the church and his own sense of purpose. As he earns the trust of the island’s quirky community, he must confront the past he tried to escape and discovers the potential for healing, belonging, and new love. - The series ran for 22 episodes and focused on the residents of Hope Island, a small island in the Pacific Northwest with a population of 1,998.
