A widowed teacher has strange, possibly supernatural, visions which only intensify when he competes for the affection of an author he confides in.

Life in an out-of-season Irish seaside resort is tough enough. But for the Beneventi family, grieving the year-long loss of their mother, and struggling to make enough from their fish 'n' chip shop to escape bankruptcy, the future looks more of a challenge. But when Frank, the eldest son, robs the local bookies, escape suddenly seems possible.
