Overview
Evelyn contemplates that this solo journey to her Caribbean beach house might be her final one, with old age looming and her children’s interventions on the horizon. Meanwhile, Rory, a seasoned traveler, seeks a welcoming refuge. Accepting Evelyn’s invitation for a brief stay, maybe one or two nights, Rory gradually finds himself feeling increasingly at ease in Evelyn’s home. Surprisingly, Evelyn is delighted to have a pleasant and helpful young companion. As they spend time together, they both discover that their friendship is evolving into something more meaningful than they initially anticipated.
