Owen Coughlin, an elderly business owner in the Maine area is coming to the end of his career. He is a boat builder, like his father before him. His son-in-law, John Alder, wants him to sell out and give up the slowly dying business. Daryl Monahan works for Owen, and is responsible for his retarded brother.
