Catherine sees Mason as a threat to her plans for Amy and orchestrates a series of schemes to tear them apart, even inviting the son of a wealthy Charlotte doctor to their beach home in hopes of convincing Amy he is a better choice than Mason.
Years later, Mason receives a mysterious letter from Amy’s aunt. The letter sends Mason on a quest to visit a mailbox on a beach Amy spoke about frequently.
Known as Kindred Spirit Mailbox near Sunset Beach, Amy and her aunt would visit the mailbox often to read the expressions of love and loss left by people from all over the world.
