The film is directed by Daniel Adams and stars Richard Dreyfuss, Bruce Dern, Tom Wisdom, and Blythe Danner. The story begins with Seth Atkins (played by Richard Dreyfuss), a former sailor and now a lighthouse keeper, who chooses to live a solitary life on the island of Martha's Vineyard. Seth is soon joined by John Brown (played by Tom Wisdom), a young man who has run away from his wedding, and George Gosbee (played by Bruce Dern), a man on the run from the law. The three men form an unlikely bond and work together to keep the lighthouse operational.
As time goes by, a group of women arrives on the island, including Ruth (played by Mamie Gummer), a beautiful young woman who not only catches the attention of John but also brings unwanted emotions back to Seth. Ruth's arrival sparks a series of romantic and comedic moments, as the men try to impress her and win her heart.
Meanwhile, the arrival of the women also leads to a conflict between the men. Seth, who has grown accustomed to his quiet and isolated lifestyle, resents the intrusion of the women, while John and George see it as an opportunity to start a new life.
