His psychologist, Dr. Kamen, suggests leaving behind the multi-million dollar construction business he built from the ground up in Minnesota for a whole new life. He's also encouraged to pick up sketching again. He decides to relocate to Duma Key, an eerily undeveloped part of the Florida coast. A visit from his daughter helps to draw him out of his solitary existence. Edgar begins to make friends with the area's other inhabitants.
