With the railroad and industrialization devastating his livelihood as a longline fisherman, Quinn struggles amidst changing times. After the tragic death of his father and a failed marriage, Quinn loses hope of having a family. Seeking solace in a hotel lounge, Quinn notices a striking Passamaquoddy woman.
