Richard Dreyfuss stars as solitary lighthouse keeper Seth Atkins, who no longer thinks he needs women until well-kept Ruth (Mamie Gummer) and her housekeeper, Mrs. Bascom (Blythe Danner), arrive. An unexpected romance is rekindled when Seth is forced to confront a past love. Daniel Adams writes and directs this period drama set on the shores of Cape Cod in the summer of 1912; Tom Wisdom co-stars.
