When Lucy Jarrett receives a message that her mother has been in an accident, she returns home from Japan, where she lives with her boyfriend. Upon returning home, she is lured back into her past by resurfaced childhood memories, family secrets, and a former boyfriend who was her first love.

Shedding light on the lives of individuals often willingly cast adrift from their histories, Colm Tóibín's stories tell of fleeing the past and returning home, of family threads lost and ultimately regained.
