Set against the well worn back-drop of Seattle's fishing terminals and working class neighborhoods, 'Morning' centers around a young married couple who are suffering from the accidental drowning death of their child. Wrestling with his sense of guilt, Michael Hade pushes his questionable drinking into a darker, more uncontrollable state. Sara Hade's attempt at forgiveness is challenged by her husband's self-destruction and the temptation of an old boyfriend. With the help of Roger, a fishing Captain and old family friend, Michael tries to repair the marriage that he has all but destroyed.
