Like his father before him, Paul Robichaud is the egocentric director of Herring River School, a private school overlooking the beautiful beaches of Cape Cod. He overbuilds, sending the school into severe debt. He is forced to expel several seniors for drug use and the school spirals into crisis as parents demand that his board of directors fire him and reinstate their teenagers for graduation year. Meanwhile, Robichaud's wife leaves him for an old boyfriend and he is forced to parent halftime. The former director falls off the ladder of success into confusion and the dawning recognition that his professional achievements have prevented his true growth. He goes on a journey to find himself and learn what it means to be a human being.
