Harry and Vera have lost their long term spouses and are struggling to adjust to life as senior citizens who are single again. They were drawn together when Harry impusively buys an old watercolor in a Maine antique shop. It is in very bad condition and Harry asks Vera, an accomplished artist, to help him restore it. She discovers the watercolor conceals a beautiful oil portrait of a gorgeous woman which a prominent museum in Washington identifies as the work of Winslow Homer. This plunges Harry and Vera into an action packed quest to establish provenance since the circumstances of the discovery suggest it was stolen. Along the way they also unravel the identity of the woman and the story of Homers tragic love affair with a girl he met during the peninsula campaign in the Civil War. As they are engaged in their joint enterprise, a lovely Geriatric Romance evolves and comes to fruition when provenance is established and the painting is sold.
