Small’s Hotel (The Series Pilot Script)

Eric Kraft

Small’s Hotel, on a little island off Long Island, is where Peter and his wife, Albertine, have spent most of their adult lives. Albertine runs the hotel while Peter works quietly on his memoirs, but the future of the hotel, and of every gift Peter dreams of giving Albertine, is in jeopardy.

Business has fallen off and the old hotel is falling down. Bills are mounting. Foreclosure looms.

What Peter does to save the hotel, his marriage, and possibly his life involves storytelling, friendship, memory, ghostwriting, real-estate, electrical contraptions, and great, abiding love. 

Adapted for television from the novel Leaving Small's Hotel.
