Plots(1)
In Delrona Beach, Marly (Edie Falco) runs the motel her now ailing father (Ralph Waite) founded decades ago. When Marly begins a romance with a landscape architect (Timothy Hutton) who`s working for the developers, could he be her ticket out of here? Meanwhile, Desiree (Angela Bassett) has come home to Lincoln Beach, 25 years after she left. She`s returned to show off her trophy husband (James McDaniel). Community activist (Bill Cobbs) wants Desiree to help him fight the developers, but she needs to resolve the past before she tackles the future. These are just some of the dozen characters whose stories are interwoven with the community`s fate. There`s also Marly`s environmentalist mom (Jane Alexander), the Chamber of Commerce stalwart (Mary Steenburgen) and the oily developer (Alan King) who stands for "gated communities" and "golf courses." Real people. Real places. Welcome to Florida. (official distributor synopsis)
