John Williams has everything he has ever wished for: a successful company, a beautiful house overlooking the ocean, the respect and admiration of his peers. But he realises, just before turning forty, that everything he has worked for does not fulfil his life as he anticipated; John Williams has lost his smile, his happiness. Until the day he meets Simon, the old man who changes his life by taking him back to the Beach of Dreams, a place where John Williams will remember...a place where he will rediscover that happiness resides in the heart, and nowhere else.
