      Voor de laatste maal keert Harry Wainwright, een succesvol zakenman die nog maar kort te leven heeft, terug naar een vakantieoord in het betoverende Maine. Twee dingen staan Harry voor ogen: nog eenmaal vissen op de plek waar hij dertig jaar lang troost heeft gevonden, en het bekendmaken van zijn erfenis, waarmee hij het leven van zeker vier mensen voorgoed zal veranderen. Ieder van hen vertelt zijn verhaal: Jordan Patterson, de jongeman die Harry op zijn laatste reis zal begeleiden; de eigenaar van het kamp, Joe Crosby, dienstweigeraar tijdens de Vietnam-oorlog die met de ingrijpende consequenties daarvan moet leren leven; Lucy, getrouwd met Joe en de vrouw van wie Harry heimelijk al dertig jaar houdt; en ten slotte Kate, de dochter van Joe en Lucy, die de sleutel bewaart van de laatste nog gesloten deur naar het verleden.
