Two lonely people wash up on the shores of a crowded vacation isle.

When Jack Dent is left at the altar, it’s too late to cancel the honeymoon reservations. He comes to Clark Island with a vague plan to drink and wench his way through two painful weeks. But, somehow, the would-be misanthrope is drawn into other people’s problems.

Will either one of them ever make it off the island?
