One summer a group of strangers — each with their own reason for wanting to step out of their busy life — meet at rented beachouse in sunny Nantucket. There's Daniel, who's causing heartbreak for his wife Bee; recently divorced Daff, who feels she's lost touch with her daughter Jess; and Michael — son of the house's mischievous, free-spirited owner Nan — who is having an ill-advised fling with his boss. With so many lost souls gathered under one roof, very soon there are tears and laughter, friendship and — for some — even love. Each one of them is hoping for a new beginning. But will any of them find it?
