About this title

Synopsis

Based on the screenplay Come Away Home, this heartwarming story chronicles the generational struggles between a young girl and her grandfather. Finding the prospect of spending the entire summer with her grandfather on Hilton Head Island unbearable, Annie stages a daring escape out to sea by taking her grandfather's rickety old boat. Quickly discovering that life on the island may not be as bad as she envisioned when she falls overboard and is rescued by a washed-up local celebrity, Annie develops a greater appreciation for both her grandfather and the island's charm and decides to give the situation another chance. Together she and her new friend Gregg plan a surprise that will make this the most memorable summer of her grandfather's lifetime. Entertaining lyrics to the song "Come Away Home," written by noted Hilton Head songwriter Gregg Russell, further enhance the story and evoke the flavor of the island.
