In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the Murphy family struggles to rebuild their Staten Island home and their lives. As old wounds resurface and loyalties are tested, each family member must decide what they’re willing to fight for-and what they’re willing to leave behind. Filled with humor, warmth, and deeply human characters, BY THE WATER is a moving story about family, community, and the meaning of home.
