• Plot: A forbidden love affair blossoms on the gorgeous Caribbean island of St. Martin in this red-hot miniseries of two feuding families vying for control of the island. Family patriarch 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 Maxine from running out in a hurricane for a secret, rain-soaked night of passion with Ocean. Tensions grow when Ocean is accused of murdering Maxine's brother Chris in a scuba-diving expedition for a cursed treasure. Maxine's fiancé is determined to see Ocean behind bars for the rest of his life, but Maxine will do anything...make any sacrifice so that her lover remains free. When Ocean goes to trial, chaos erupts when the shocking truth behind Chris's death and long-hidden family secrets are revealed.
