His parents' relationship is falling apart, as his father is consumed by grief and his mother is emotionally distant. To provide some relief, they decide to take a vacation at a luxury resort in Jamaica.
Clara is a warm and kind-hearted chambermaid who is hired to clean the family's villa.

He spends more and more time with Clara, learning about her culture and traditions, and exploring the beauty of Jamaica. Clara becomes a mentor and a confidant to David, helping him to find his own sense of purpose and to come to terms with his family's tragedy.
However, David's world is turned upside down when Clara's ex-husband shows up at the resort looking for her. It turns out that Clara had fled Jamaica years earlier, leaving everything she knew behind, including her own child. David is tugged between his loyalty to his friend and the disturbing secret she has been keeping from him. He grapples with the morality of Clara's past choices and the impact they have on the present.
The movie ultimately shows how bonds can be formed in the unlikeliest of circumstances, and how true compassion can overcome both cultural and personal barriers. Clara's Heart tells a poignant story of two people from different walks of life, united by a tragic past and a chance encounter in the present.
