It is 1987 and a small Irish community is preparing for a wedding. The day before the ceremony a group of young friends including bride and groom drive out to the beach. There is an accident. Connor is one of the survivors. But staying among the angry and the mourning is almost as hard as living with the shame of having been the driver. He leaves the only place he knows and makes a home for himself in New York. But the secrets the unspoken longings and regrets that have come to haunt those left behind will not be silenced. And before long Connor will have to confront his past.
