It is the summer of 1972. Thirteen-year old Janey and her parents settle into their isolated beach house for another idyllic seaside holiday.

Angered by her mother's infidelity, Janey begins to discover the power of her own sexuality, acting on her desires in increasingly reckless ways. As she rushes headlong into dark, adult waters, Janey is soon confronted with the terrible realization that in a moment everything can change forever.
