    The inimitable—some might say incorrigible—Frank Widdicombe is suffering from a deep depression. Or so his wife
 Carol
 believes. But Carol is convinced that their new island home—Willowbrook Manor on the Puget Sound—is just the thing to cheer her husband up. And so begins a whirlwind summer as their house becomes the epicenter of multiple social dramas involving the family
 their friends
 and a host of new acquaintances.
