In southern Ireland, 2005, a love story unfolds between two people who've known each other since they were five years old. Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson and Claire Biggs share a bond that began at a funeral when young Claire held Gerard's hand after he lost his father and sister in a drowning accident. Sixteen years later, they're still inseparable, though their relationship exists in that delicate space between friendship and something deeper. They sleep beside each other, comfort one another, and share an intimacy that confuses everyone around them. Gerard harbors intense feelings for Claire but fears acting on them might destroy their friendship. Meanwhile, Claire has loved Gerard for as long as she can remember, patiently waiting for him to see her as more than just his best friend. Their dance of desire and hesitation creates a tension that everyone but them seems to recognize, with friends constantly nudging them toward acknowledging what's obvious to all.
