A bittersweet coming-of-age romance set in a seaside Irish town, where two teenagers navigate attraction, imagination, and the mysteries of adult desire.

Two teenagers Jimmy and Rose spend their vacation at the small Irish sea-resort Bray. Out of boredom they observe other people and imagine wild stories about them. One day they observe the blonde Renee, and Jimmy is immediately fascinated by her and even follows her home. She, too, seems to like him, but for a mysterious reason keeps him at a distance.
