A nostalgic coming-of-age ensemble about working-class friendship and generational change in 1970s Long Island, balancing youthful camaraderie with the melancholy of inevitable transition.

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.
