In 1976, on the South Shore of Long Island, Hunt, Lozo, Jack and Cons work as clam diggers, the trade their fathers and grandfathers followed before them. A corporate clamming outfit is taking the bay from them. Each man has something on the side: Hunt takes photographs, Cons sells drugs, Jack chases women, and Lozo is married to Julie. Hunt's father worked long days on the bay to make a living, and he dies. After the funeral, Hunt spends time with Zoey, a rich young woman from the city who is out east, while his sister Gina gets involved with Jack.
