Levi Rockwell is a retired, widowed Hollywood screenwriter and patriarch who reunites his entire family at his Long Island estate for his 77th birthday, but personal and social problems abound. His four children - son Rolo, and daughters Ruby, Rose and Aggie - arrive, along with their spouses and children, to help him celebrate his 77th birthday. During the course of the family reunion he bonds with his youngest grandson, 4 year old Blue. One afternoon Blue brings his grandfather some lemonade. Blue sees a scale model ship and Levi explains that it's a Viking ship. Later that evening Blue and his older cousins are discussing what to get grandpa for his 77th birthday. While bike riding Blue and his cousins see a boat in the tall grass. They decide to restore it as a birthday present for their grandfather.
