As the last members of a 1960s' environmental activist commune, Jack (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his 16-year-old daughter, Rose (Camilla Belle), live peacefully on their abandoned island. But life takes a turn when a developer (Beau Bridges) plans a housing development next to them, and Jack's girlfriend, Kathleen (Catherine Keener)–along with her two sons (Ryan McDonald and Paul Dano)–come to live with them. While Rose is intimidated by the presence of Kathleen and the boys, Jack sees the new housing project as a direct infringement on his efforts to keep the environment pure. The writer and director of this film, Rebecca Miller, is the wife of Daniel Day-Lewis, and his father was playwright Arthur Miller.
