To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday

Two years after his wife, Gillian (Michelle Pfeiffer), died in a boating accident, David (Peter Gallagher) still fantasizes his wife is alive and talks with her “ghost” on the beach every night. Meanwhile, family problems crop up, and Gillian’s sister threatens to sue for custody of David’s 16-year-old daughter, Rachel (Claire Danes). Things come to a head when the family gathers on Nantucket to celebrate Gillian’s birthday.
