Eric Sumners, a rich businessman in the Pacific Northwest, has it all: smart, handsome, successful, and happily married to a beautiful woman of perfect artistic and social taste. One day, on a whim, he decides to give her a luxurious sailboat. But when someone as rich as Eric decides to do something, the side-effects on regular people's lives can be spectacular. Suddenly, down at the waterfront, the grandiose opportunity created by Sumners spawns ever-expanding waves of hope, but also conjures up deep currents of jealousy, greed and hidden desire. Suspense, with romantic and professional intrigue, aspirations and dreams, are soon engulfed as The Big Tide sweeps everything before it with the promises and delusions of unfettered ambition, passion, art and love.
