Calm at Sunset

Based on the Paul Watkins novel, "Calm at Sunset" is a generation gap story with an unexpected twist. Fisherman Russell Pfeiffer has always dreamed of a better and more prosperous life for his sons, and to that end, bankrolls their college education. But his youngest son, 18 year-old James, drops out of school during his first year, intending to follow his dream of owning his own fishing boat. This dream is not only a source of grief for his hard-working parents, but it also proves dangerous and challenging for James. He is forced to weather a tragedy and uncovers a shocking family secret, and has to make a decision that may compromise his morals.
