The plot featured [[The Ingenue|Meg]] who, after discovering that her fiancé was cheating on her on their wedding day, packs her bags and leaves her Kansas home-town for a [[Lonely Rich Kid|HandsomeStranger]] with whom she has been conversing via e-mail for months. She arrives at his home-town of Sunset Beach and lodges at his mansion. At first she finds [[The Stoic|Ben]] withdrawn and unsociable, which she later finds out is due to the death of his first wife at sea. He even keeps a large portrait of her dressed in white, on a swing-set in his living room.

Now, Casey is also friends with [[Black Best Friend|Michael]], a lifeguard, later sports physician, who is currently dating [[Plucky Girl|Vanessa]], a plucky reporter with a nose for trouble. Vanessa also works for the same newspaper as Meg. Olivia's best friend [[Mysterious Past|Bette]], who is the town gossip and dispenser of sage advice, provides Meg with a kind ear and information about Ben's past. [[Cowboy Cop|Ricardo]] hates Ben because his first wife was Ricardo's sister. Ricardo is in a relationship with [[Dirty Harriet|Paula Stevens]], a fellow police offer. Both are involved in [[Long Lost Sibling]] [[B Plot|sideplots]]. Together all these shared lives and histories form the basis of plots for the series.
