Pap is a perplexing man. He lives by himself in the country but considers himself "cultured." He has a rich sense of humor but can use it ruthlessly. He has extravagant taste and yet - his most enduring quality - he is a man of thrift.

The story begins when family conflict sends Pap's grandchildren to him for the summer, a man they barely know, in a place they've never been. He provides no entertainment except the outdoors, where there are few rules, unlimited freedom, and no adult supervision. As interesting as he is, they are unsure whether they trust him or even like him.

To survive the summer, his grandchildren will have to learn an independence that is beyond their years and a way of life that is foreign to their generation. When Pap faces a crisis of his own, he has no choice but to depend upon help from an unexpected source, his grandchildren. At the heart of what threatens and blesses them all is the wild, natural world of the Inlet.
