    • Synopsis
    • Jack Kincaid (John Schneider, ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” TV’s “Smallville”) had life all figured out. With a wife, two kids and a successful career at an investment firm, Jack was living the life most men dream about…
      Then Jack’s wife, Keri (Jessica Tuck, TV’s “True Blood,” “Judging Amy”), filed for a divorce. While Jack was a winner in the boardroom, he could not figure out how to balance a successful career with a successful marriage. Keri has decided to raise their children,15 year-old Walt and 11 year-old Emma, in a calmer, more idyllic lifestyle—on the picturesque island of Catalina, 26 miles off the coast of Southern California. Suddenly, the man who had it all has found himself with nothing—except an excuse to start over and re-build his dreams.
      Aided by Sean ‘Murph’ Murphy (Eric Lange, TV’s “Lost”)—Jack’s best friend, former brother-in-law, internet entrepreneur and the de-facto ‘honorary mayor’ of Catalina all-in-one—the high-powered exec soon finds himself trading in his wing-tips for flip-flops, rediscovering life as a father, and even catching the eye of beautiful local Jennifer (TV’s “Good Morning, Miami” and “Queen of Swords.”)
      When Murph proposes the ultimate idea—that he and Jack reunite their college band The Renegades—Jack soon finds that his dreams never did die—they just went on hiatus.
