synopsis
In the small town of Eden, a minister's wife must confront her conservative husband, who has enforced a harsh estrangement from their adopted son since they've learned that he's gay.

Mark, a longtime drifter who is strangely fascinated with loggerhead seat turtles, crosses paths with George, a fixture of his quiet beach community who for a time provides Mark the support and companionship he's been starved of.
