　　Three women arrive at the local airport, observed by Josh, aNantucket native home from college for the summer. Burdened withsmall children, unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious emotionalissues, the women--two sisters and one friend--make their way tothe sisters' tiny cottage, inherited from an aunt. They're alltrying to escape from something: Melanie, after seven failedin-vitro attempts, learned her husband was having an affair, andthen discovered she's pregnant; Brenda embarked on a passionateaffair with an older student that got her fired from herprestigious job as a professor in New York; and her sister Vicki,mother to two small boys, has been diagnosed with lung cancer. SoonJosh is part of the chaotic household, acting as babysitter,confidant, and, eventually, lover.
