Synopsis
"It is Coney Island in February and old Max SIlverman, recovering from a coronary, is planning to reopen his long-closed beach bar-- with the entrapped assistance of his daughter Nancy, who has changed her name and her nose, deserted her husband and is searching for a new identity.
Into their dreams and lives wanders Arthur Korman, a youngish, amiable sunrise-watcher who hates his job, but never seems able to make a decision to quit."--Publisher.
