FISHER ISLAND A teenage boy spends his summers with his parents and grandparents on an island on the Maine coast. Usually bored, he invites his best friend up for the month of July. Coincidentally, two teenage girls also arrive for the month. They witness what they think is a murder on July 4th. What ensues is a month of discovery … of love and heartbreak; of man's meanness to man; and of man's innate kindness. This summer's vacation is very different from any previous and many to come.
