In 1950s England, sailor Harold Guppy arrives in a small seaside town looking for his estranged brother.

It's clear that Harold has a troubled past, but his future is about to get more perilous yet. Despite the rosy surface, Harold soon finds himself in a tawdry sexual tug-of-war that won't end well.
