The story of a man searching for a new identity, living on a boat high and dry in the yard, in a town very much like Port Cypress, Washington.
There, he becomes tied to a boatyard community of like souls. These widely divergent characters find in each other the catalyst to move on from their personal doldrums to a new sense of purpose.
