The story

Widower Harry Keach is a construction worker in South Florida, who was raised to appreciate the importance of working for a living. He takes a dim view of his sensitive son Howard's lackadaisical and sometimes hedonistic lifestyle, in his early 20s and devoted to a dead-end, part-time job, surfing, chasing girls, and hot-tubbing while he dreams of becoming the next Ernest Hemingway. Harry also has a strained relationship with his daughter Nina because he dislikes her husband Andy, an insurance salesman, and he thinks she has become stuck up now that she has married a more affluent man.
