Thomas lives a slow, deliberate life with his mother in Longferry,
working his grandpa’s trade as a shanker. He rises early to take his
horse and cart to the grey, gloomy beach to scrape for shrimp; spending
the rest of the day selling his wares, trying to wash away the salt and
scum, pining for Joan Wyeth down the street and rehearsing songs on his
guitar. At heart, he is a folk musician, but it remains a private dream.
When a striking visitor turns up, bringing the promise of Hollywood
glamour, Thomas is shaken from the drudgery of his days and begins to
see a different future. But how much of what the American claims is
true, and how far can his inspiration carry Thomas?
Haunting and timeless, this is the story of a young man hemmed in by
his circumstances, striving to achieve fulfilment far beyond the world
he knows.
