2007 · 96 min

A gentle, bittersweet hangout with old friends facing change, full of salt air, quiet laughs, and unspoken sadness.

Tagline: No one can drift forever.
Overview: In 1976, four working-class friends come of age in The Hamptons, on the South Shore of Long Island, New York, as clam diggers, as were their fathers and their grandfathers before them. They must cope with and learn to face the changing times in both their personal lives and their neighborhood.
