The marriage of Ellie and Ryland
has been strained by the recent death of their infant daughter. Hoping that some time away will
ease Ellie's mind, Ryland organizes a weekend getaway in the nearby resort of Far Harbor, where
they'll stay at a beach house with several friends, including Arabella, Ellie's sister, and
Frick, Ellie's ex-husband. Frick, a struggling filmmaker, hears a rumor that a yacht anchored
off the beach belongs to David Speckman, a successful movie director; and the soothing weekend
soon turns maddening, as he devises scheme after scheme to meet Speckman, oblivious that those
around him have serious problems to deal with. |
