When Fiona Green decided to get a job in the Bahamas, she did not envisage battening down the hatches and taking cover from fearful winds. However, that is exactly what happens when Hurricane Floyd blows into town. In the aftermath of the storm, Fiona is kept busy with a steady stream of owners and their injured pets seeking treatment at the Bahamas Humane Society. Back in Wiltshire, England, a difficult case turns into a crisis for Trude Mostue when a breeder brings in an ill-fated German shepherd dog. Meanwhile, Trude's friend and fellow-Norwegian Maria Lowe - who, like Fiona and Trude, also trained at the Langford Vets' School - treats a collie dog with a mysterious lump. Trude and Maria are making plans to form a partnership and set up their own veterinary practice.
