A grumpy old rancher, a historic coastal ranch, and the 250 dinners guests he didn't invite.

For over a century, the historic Mazzetti ranch has hugged the coast of Central California. Its owner, Teddy, has never been one to welcome the occasional visitor, not even those seeking out his well-regarded beef or domestic abalone. But now in a moment of weakness, he has agreed to allow an outside firm to host a dinner for over two hundred people on his beloved cliffs.  Little does he know that this event will draw out the attendance of both friends and foes, long-term and new.

Faced with the uncertainties of his future and the lost opportunities of his past, Teddy Mazzetti just needs to find the strength to survive this Long Table Dinner. And maybe, just maybe, learn that there's more to life than his beloved coast.
