In the late 1990s, a group of young drifters from various parts of Britain find themselves washed up together in a small town on the west coast of Wales, fixed between mountains and sea. Here, they both explore and attempt to overcome those yearnings and addictions that have brought them to this place: promiscuity, drugs, alcohol, petty crime, and the intense and angry search for the meaning they feel life lacks at the back end of a momentous century.
