Sound recording - 2018

In the summer of 1951, eighteen-year-old Miranda Schuyler arrives on elite, secretive Winthrop Island in Long Island Sound. Uneasy among her stepsister's privileged friends, Miranda finds herself drawn to Joseph, who helps his father on a lobster boat. But Joseph has a catastrophe that will shatter Winthrop's tranquility and banish Miranda from the Island for nearly two decades. Now, in the summer of 1969, Miranda returns at last.
