Quoyle is a hapless, hopeless hack journalist living and working in New York. When his no-good wife is killed in a spectacular road accident, Quoyle heads for the land of his forefathers — the remotest corner of far-flung Newfoundland. With his delinquent daughters in tow, Quoyle finds himself part of an unfolding, exhilarating Atlantic drama in this irresistible comedy of human life and possibility.
