A doctor from America comes to a small island off the coast of the British Isles to stay with his cousin, Evelyn. He meets the various people and learns their stories and of their troubled pasts. Tommy and Evelyn try to make their relationship work, while Gladys helps her son Dai come to terms with what he’s done. As a year passes the Doctor wrestles with his duty to go home, receiving two visits from a friend from home, Paul. He at last decides to stay on the island, but not before he has witnessed the decline of Dennis who sinks deeper into his alcoholism and the stories in his head and eventually into suicidal thoughts. The other characters try to go on living with their pasts, but we may doubt whether to a purposeful end as we hear what has befallen after the death of their friend.
