Tides

The tides run high in the small fishing village of Dorset, Maine, and Kohn Construction wants to build a tidal power generating station in Dorset Cove. The project is opposed by an environmental group, and the fishermen's association has asked one of its own, Tom Handy, to try and find out which side they should support. Kohn Construction has hired Tom's older brother, estranged from him for the past fifteen years, as its spokesman, and the clash of competing interests poses risks for the Kohns and their investors, for the members of the Town Council and their constituents, and for Tom and his family.
