The story centers on Quoyle, a hack journalist from New York whose father had emigrated from Newfoundland. Shortly after the suicide of his parents, Quoyle's unfaithful and abusive wife Petal and her lover leave town with Quoyle & Petal's daughter in tow. Days later she sells their daughters to a 'black market adoption agency' for the sum of $6,000. Soon thereafter, they are found dead in a car accident and the child is located by police and returned to Quoyle. Despite the safe return of his daughter, Quoyle's life is collapsing and his paternal aunt Agnis Hamm convinces him to return to life in their ancestral home of Newfoundland for a new beginning. The ancestral home is situated on Quoyle's Point.
Through previous work contacts, he obtains work as a car-accident reporter for the Gammy Bird, local newspaper of the town of Killick-Claw. The Gammy Bird's editor also asks him to document the shipping news, arrivals and departures from the local port, which soon grows into Quoyle's signature articles on boats of interest in the harbour.
Quoyle gradually makes friends within the community, learns about his own troubled family background, and begins a relationship with a local woman, Wavey. Quoyle's growth in confidence and emotional strength, as well as his ability to be comfortable in a loving relationship become the main focus for the book. A series of deep and disturbing secrets about his ancestors emerge in strange ways. In time, he also learns about his father having raped Agnis (Quoyle's aunt, and his father's sister) in their childhood.
In her acknowledgements Proulx states, "And without the inspiration of Clifford W. Ashley's wonderful 1944 work, The Ashley Book of Knots, which I had the good fortune to find at a yard sale for a quarter, this book would have remained just a thread of an idea." Ashley's illustrations and quotes are used at chapter headings throughout the book. Some of the names in the book are taken from knots, for instance Killick hitch and coil.
