Autrefois acteur à succès, Joe Scot, la quarantaine, passe son temps à boire et à multiplier les conquêtes féminines, sous le regard réprobateur de son assistante Ophelia. Lorsqu'il apprend la mort d'un ami d'enfance, Booth, il décide de retourner en Angleterre pour assister aux funérailles. Il se rappelle alors sa jeunesse dans une ville portuaire anglaise. L'été de ses 16 ans, Joe entretenait une relation avec sa voisine Evelyn, une femme au foyer délaissée par son mari. Dans le même temps, il sympathisait avec Ruth, une jeune fille un brin excentrique, avec laquelle il se découvrait de nombreux points communs. Un drame allait tout remettre en question...
