The summer movement of the McCarthy family from mainland life in Toronto to Renews, Newfoundland for the past seven years has revealed much about their neighbours and themselves.

For the past seven years, the family holidays have been made to a salt-box wooden home in the community of Renews, Newfoundland, a fishing outport on the Irish loop. While Eleanor has had her camera rolling to capture her young family's holiday, she has met and interviewed her neighbours who have lived through pre-electricity days, World War II, the fish moratorium and the renewal of interest in the province of Newfoundland for its oil resources. Intertwining casual holiday footage, with photography and interviews an homage to the strength of the people of Renews forms alongside the love of an urban family for their neighbours in this picturesque fishing community.
