Synopsis

After tragedy strikes, Quoyle moves with his daughter from upstate New York to his ancestral home in a small Newfoundland fishing village. With a job at the local newspaper and developing romance with a woman who lives with her own demons, Quoyle is transformed by this place of magic, beauty, and hardship. In a compelling story based on Annie Proulx's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Quoyle's past melds with his present in an inspirational journey of self-discovery and second chances.
