Still seething from childhood abandonment, William reluctantly agrees and arrives wearing a tuxedo and a fog of scotch. There, he meets Cole, his father’s blunt fishing guide with a secret of his own, and Julia, a local doctor whose kindness and wit unsettle his defenses. Through sun-drenched waters, clumsy casts, and sharp arguments, William and Leo navigate the waters and the intricacies of family relationships while slowly rediscovering a bond neither thought possible. Intercut with this past is the present-day story of William, now older, taking his bruised and bitter grandson, Kyle, on a fishing trip of their own. As William shares the events of that life-changing week, he reaches across time to help Kyle navigate pain, anger, and the ache of broken family ties. Woven with humor, heartbreak, and healing, Looking Through Water is a generational drama about the scars fathers leave, the bridges sons can rebuild, and the quiet redemption found in second chances, on and off the water.
