An inspirational story of redemption set among real life events, A Rising Tide tells the tale of a talented young chef, Sam Rama (Hunter Parrish - Weeds, Still Alice). After the destruction of his family's well-established Atlantic City restaurant during Hurricane Sandy, Sam must grow up quickly, taking the biggest risks of his life, both in business and love, as he works to bring his mouth watering, unconventional recipes to the recovering, beautiful and anachronistic Jersey Shore.
