Three women arrive at the local airport, observed by Josh, a
Nantucket native home from college for the summer.

Burdened
with small children, unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious
emotional issues, the women-- two sisters and one
friend--make their way to the sisters' tiny cottage,
inherited from an aunt.

They're all trying to escape from
something: Melanie, after seven failed in-vitro attempts,
learned her husband was having an affair, and then
discovered she's pregnant; Brenda embarked on a passionate
affair with an older student that got her fired from her
prestigious job as a professor in New York; and her sister
Vicki, mother to two small boys, has been diagnosed with
lung cancer.

Soon Josh is part of the chaotic household,
acting as babysitter, confidant, and, eventually, lover.
