Will Tyler (Robert Knott) is a waterman -- a harvester of oysters and clams -- along Maryland's shore.

Due to financial woes and his drinking problem, he and his wife Julia (Cherry Jones) are having trouble raising the money for expensive ear surgery for their 11-year-old daughter Emma (Tara Devon Gallagher).
Emma is wise beyond her years and yet still a child who blames herself for her family's dilemma. She watches as the stress digs into the family, including her adult brothers Clyde (Shawn Hatosy), who is a cop, and Mike (Michael Mosley), who is a waterman like his father.
Enter the melancholy young woman Merrill (Sarah Paulson) who has returned to the village to try to reclaim her late mother's house from her aunt Shellie (Kate Goehring). Sarah has dark secrets involving her mother's death and has spent time institutionalized as a result, but she befriends young Emma and becomes a balance point for the child.
Written and directed by Doug Sadler.
