All of Harold's life he has stuttered. His father mentions it every day.When an oyster store is opened, Harold is put in charge. He has a pad and pencil ready to answer or to write questions, so he doesn't have to speak. Then Julia, a new person to the peninsula, comes in with baked cookies to sell in the store. She won't let Harold use the pad, but urges him to talk slowly. It will work, she claims, as she used to stutter too. Can these two find a love that frees them from self-imposed handicaps?
