For the first time in his life, he is without a job or a sense of direction, and he's too proud to ask for guidance. An offhand remark from a friend inspires Frank to challenge himself. Already contemplating the state of his relationships with loving wife Joan and all-but-estranged son Rob, Frank is determined to shore up his own self-confidence and he will attempt the near impossible--swimming the English Channel. Frank is unable to confide in those closest to him, but as the big day and moment of truth draw near, there is a sea change. Frank's family confronts him, and he realizes that he must repair his strained family ties. As Frank and those closest to him discover, or re-discover, reserves of love and compassion, he realizes that he is also swimming from one part of his life to another.Intended AudienceMPAA rating: PG-13DurationPT92MAuthorized Access PointOn a clear day
