Who among us does not need refuge from a catastrophe that upends, shakes and changes us forevermore? And so it is with Will Dumont. Against the upswell of late 1950s Sausalito, California -- artists, beats, bohemians, unforgettable locals like Sally Stanford, Alan Watts, Sterling Hayden, Jean Varda -- Will seeks his shelter in the Earthquake Shack. This beachfront cottage clad in mossy brown shingles was built as a house of refuge, beginning its existence in nearby San Francisco, after the 1906 earthquake. Resettled to Sausalito's idyllic waterfront, it is haunted. One lively spirit, its orginal tenant, is a Barbary Coast piano man; another is a Miwok princess who tribe once danced on the same beach. Will's hopes of distancing himself from his past, however, are severely shaken by a headstrong artist named Maggie. She's not only hellbent on defending the loose and easy waterfront life from those who would steal it away, she also offers Will the gift of love and a chance to recover from his personal earthquakes. Out of Will's struggle to find the means to accept that gift comes a poignant, lyric love story for those ready to be transported by a sense of place and the sweep of history. It's a wild and wonderful ride!
