Brandon Lewis is new to Tommy's class. He and his widowed father, Cliff Lewis, an unemployed engineer, live on a boat moored in the marina, which allows them to move easily from place to place as Cliff looks for work. Cliff seems overly protective of Brandon from everything outside of their small two person world. In trying to help them, Sara suggests that Cliff may be able to help Nick with a small immediate job as Jesse is out of town. An insurance company is paying $5,000 for the recovery of a missing barge which got lost during a recent storm. Of all the people in town, Nick is the only person who knows the barge's location, but can't tow it in on his own as it's grounded on some rocks in a out of the way cove. Cliff agrees to the job, leaving Brandon at The Reach with Sara and Tommy. Cliff may regret taking the job for two reasons: the unknown cargo aboard the barge in combination with what is waiting back at Gibsons for him and Brandon.
