Paul Grayson called his three daughters together to make an announcement. He sold his house and bought an island in Maine. The girls were stunned. Paul had lost his wife a couple of years ago and the girls were grown. He decided to buy the summer camp, Camp Kicking Moose, where he and his wife had met. The island had a Native American name meaning Three Sisters. Paul planned to rename the island Three Sisters. His wife had wanted to go there on vacations but Paul was too busy working. Paul was a sports announcer and traveled with the team. Lately he developed a case of laryngitis and his vocal cords never fully recovered. This ended his career as a sports announcer.

Camden Grayson was his oldest daughter. She was a successful business woman and had one son, Cooper. Maddy was the middle daughter. Maddy had just completed her master's degree in marriage and family therapy. Though she wasn't married and had no children, she was constantly diagnosing others. Blaine was 19, the youngest. She was just kicked out of community college for not making up her mind what she should do. They all think Dad is losing it.

The family took a trip to the island and found it very run down. Some of the islanders were resentful of Paul buying their island. At the same time, they wanted him to fix all the problems on the island. Mayor Phinney was determined to keep his position on the island and objected to Paul's interference with his island. Peg, whose name was Peg Legg, ran the diner/grocery store, The Lunch Counter, was glad to have someone come and suggest changes. Seth Walker was the local teacher and church worship leader. Seth had a unique approach to teaching. Cooper, who had trouble in past schools, was adapting well to his new teacher and school.

It was Paul's dream to have his three daughters live on Three Sisters island with him. When they saw the condition of the camp, it was clear that it would take everyone to pitch in and help make the camp a family vacation spot. Cam was too busy to spend much time there. Her boss wanted to send her to London for an undetermined amount of time. Maggie was engaged to Tre who planned for them to marry and live in Boston. Blaine was not sure what she should do. Soon all the girls found the island a beautiful place to be and the people friendly. Cam found herself being drawn to Seth. Blaine found she enjoys helping Peg at the Lunch Counter. Cooper found a friend in Seth. But could the island have enough interest to keep the girls there? Would the Grayson family be able to bring needed change to the island?
