Just off the coast of Southern California, two families - one in the late 1880s and one in the 1930s - come to desolate, windswept San Miguel in search of self-reliance, freedom, and a new start in their lives. In failing health, Marantha Waters arrives with her husband, a stubborn Civil War veteran who plans to take over the island's sheep ranch. Some forty years later, Elise Lester settles the island with her husband, a World War I veteran full of manic energy. Both Marantha and Elise strive to help their husbands pursue their dreams but must themselves grapple with the more nebulous hardships of raising a family in brutal isolation.
