Year By the Sea is the story of a wife and mother of 30 years who retreats to Cape Cod (Harwich Port, Massachusetts) rather than follow her relocated husband to Kansas. Intent to rediscover herself but plagued with guilt, she questions her decision until stumbling upon a spirited mentor. Supported by her literary agent and a host of locals, including a sexy fisherman, our heroine learns to embrace the ebb and flow of life--ultimately discovering the balance between self and sacrifice, obligation and desire.

Based on the New York Times best-selling memoir by Joan Anderson. The film stars Karen Allen (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Animal House) as Anderson, Michael Cristofer (Mr. Robot), S. Epatha Merkerson (Chicago Med, Law & Order), Yannik Bisson (Murdock Mysteries) and Celia Imrie (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel), along with dozens of locals as extras.
