On the surface, boats sway on their moorings, while below bubbles a primal brew of salt and sea life--much like the Ragsdales, a decidedly modern family whose humor and goodwill skim breezily above an ocean of smoldering emotions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eInto this infinite chaos careens a rebel grandmother who shows up to help the family save the town windmill, whose mysterious energy whips up the coastal disturbances of a changing world.
