In an homage to the movie Sleepless in Seattle, Hobie tries helping his grieving father deal with Tracy's passing by calling a radio station for advice, and a woman listener in another city decides to contact them. Caroline rescues a swimmer with AIDS, causing problems between her and Logan.
This long-running series follows the adventures of a team of lifeguards on the crowded beaches of Los Angeles County. Veteran lifeguard Mitch Buchannon watches over the younger lifeguards that come and go with each passing season as they keep the beaches safe for vacationers. Frequently he must take action to save them from the raging seas and from the raging tempers that sometimes flare up between the young guards in this stressful job.
