A heartwarming Southern drama about legacy, land, and the lessons found in still waters. Derek Sharpe is a clean-cut family man struggling to stay afloat. Working for a powerful development company, Derek is given one last shot at success: locate the mysterious owner of 5,000 acres of untamed Mississippi marshland, the final piece needed to complete a massive luxury development. But when his search leads him deep into the swamp—and into the life of a reclusive old man named Jim—Derek’s priorities begin to shift. Jim lives simply in the heart of the marsh, a man rooted in the rhythms of the tide and untouched by modern chaos. As Derek visits again and again, driven by ambition but pulled by something deeper, he discovers not only the beauty and wisdom of the land—but a surprising friendship that will change everything. When Jim dies unexpectedly, he leaves Derek with an inheritance that stuns him: the entire marsh, a modest fortune, and a letter that will force him to confront who he really is. With developers circling and the future uncertain, Derek must decide whether to cash in—or live a life he never knew he was missing. Living With the Tides is a soulful, feel-good journey of rediscovery, filled with Southern charm, heart, and the timeless reminder that sometimes, the best way forward is to go back to your roots.
