It’s the off-season in the seaside resort town of Blackpool, where Tommy never imagined he would return. His relationship has broken down, so he returns home to keep an eye on his widower father. While counting down the hours before attending the funeral of a well-loved friend, a mysterious group turns up on the seafront. One by one, the locals are entranced by their presence until Tommy and his father can no longer resist the allure.

Tommy soon discovers a secret desire his father has been harbouring for his entire life.

A story of what it means to be family with a light touch magic and healing.
