The earthquake causes a dam to burst and sends a large wave crashing toward the beach, forcing the lifeguards to spring into action to protect their community.
At the same time, Mitch (played by David Hasselhoff) must confront his past when a woman he once loved, Leigh (played by Brooke Burns), arrives back in town. Leigh is now a successful model, but she carries with her some unresolved feelings towards Mitch. The tension between the two leads to some awkward moments, but they both try to keep things professional as they work to protect the community.
Meanwhile, Matt (played by David Charvet) is dealing with his own issues as he tries to help a young girl named Kim (played by Emily Ann Lloyd) who is struggling with body image issues. Kim is desperate to be a model but is constantly turned away because of her size.
