As the millennium approaches, middle-aged bachelor, Andy, a social misfit, finds himself becoming isolated as he observes a changing Ireland around him, the increase in holiday homes and the closing of the local Post Office.
His life takes an interesting turn when he finds a bottle with a message from a young Welsh girl washed up on his local beach, and an unlikely friendship develops between them.
Set in a quiet rural village in County Wexford, Ireland, where crime is a rarity, the locals are shocked when a violent incident is visited upon them, one which sends a current of unease throughout the community.
A story of loneliness, friendship and the importance of community.
