Frank Taylor is in the water before and notices her fall into the water. Quickly he makes her way through the water to help the beautiful African-American woman anyway he can. Katherine is caught off guard by the attractive older white man that comes to her rescue, but she is instantly drawn to his phyiscal presence and charming personality.
The two start a relationship slowly learning more and more about each other as they go. Katherine falls head over heels in love with Frank. It doesn't matter he's so much older than her and that her father disapproves of the pairing. Katherine is a head strong indepedent woman that does what she wants and she wants Frank in her life now and forever.
