The Door in the Floor
Set in the privileged beach community of East Hampton, New York and chronicles one pivotal summer in the lives of famous children's book author Ted Cole and his wife Marion. Their once-great marriage has been strained by tragedy. Her resulting despondency and his subsequent infidelities have prevented the couple from confronting a much-needed change in their relationship. Eddie O'Hare, the young man Ted hires to work as his summer assistant, is the couple's unwitting yet willing pawn - and, ultimately, the catalyst in the transformation of their lives.
A suffocating summer in the Hamptons where unspoken grief and simmering desires create a tense, melancholic atmosphere. It's a slow, introspective descent into a marriage unraveling under the weight of tragedy and betrayal.
