His best friend’s sister, Heidi Wu, has been interested in him since their college days together at the University of Georgia, just before Diego got the call from God to go to seminary. Fast forward some years, they all meet again in the beautiful and romantic coastal city of Savannah, where now PhD student Heidi and her PI brother, Ming Wei, live in a beach house on the nearby Tybee Island. Will romance finally happen between Diego and Heidi, or are they still too busy for each other?
