Reluctant father David has spent his life running away: from his foster home, from responsibilities, from his marriage, from his daughter Lea. But now, she is thrown back into his life: she's leaving university, and David is the only person who can drive her home to Cornwall. Is it too late for David to make up for a lifetime of disappointments and his own shortcomings as father?

Winner of 2020 BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer. Contemporary Cornwall. Martin Ward is a cove fisherman, without a boat. His brother Steven has re-purposed their father's vessel as a tourist tripper, driving a wedge between the brothers. With their childhood home now a get-away for London money, Martin is displaced to the estate above the picturesque harbour. As his struggle to restore the family to their traditional place creates increasing friction with tourists and locals alike, a tragedy at the heart of the family changes his world.
