When a financial crisis strips the O'Briens of their Long Island home, the family’s erratic patriarch Ray (Rhys Ifans) launches one last grand plan: a nautical escape and a high-stakes fishing tournament to win it all back. In the close quarters of the boat, the family's fragile equilibrium—long organized around Ray’s volatility—begins to crack. With heartfelt performances from Lily Rabe ('American Horror Story') and Sarah Catherine Hook ('The White Lotus'), director Lindsey Ryan’s charming and honest debut feature deftly captures the tested bonds of a flawed family against the sun-splashed backdrop of the seaside landscape.
