A young wife and mother on a Louisiana holiday feels a long-buried self stir awake, falls for another man, and comes home unable to fit back into marriage or motherhood, until she walks into the sea for the last time.

I would give up the unessential; I would give my money, I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn't give myself.
