This summer New Yorker Anne wants time alone with Gabe, to recapture the bliss they had when they met in Paris years ago. Instead, he surprises her with what he can afford – a shared beach house – heteros and gays together on Fire Island – legendary for its wildlife – meandering beach, booze and bikinis. It becomes a roller coaster ride for all, and it separates soulmates, Gabe and Anne, flinging them to opposite ends of the earth.
22 years pass and today, the day same sex marriage becomes legal, their gay housemates have invited them to the same beach house for a wedding and reunion. Anne arrives. Gabe has not. Will he? Is their love deep enough to defy time? And what if Gabe never shows at all?
Come take the ride with all its laughs and tears as total strangers become family for one unforgettable summer.
