| In the Scottish fishing village of Mareth,
everyone knows everything about each other - and what they don't
know they assume; the villagers live against a constantly changing
backdrop of elaborate scheming and sexual innuendo.
At the hub of this world is the Ocean Cafe, run by tousle-haired,
forty-something Magda, who makes grown men eat their greens,
won't serve customers she doesn't like, and loves her children
and their father with a passion. When Jessie Tate, devastated
by recent tragedy, rents the flat above the cafe in an escape
from the city, her dream of peace and solitude is shattered
by the rock'n'roll music that thuds through her floor. But
perhaps a dose of life in an intimate, colourful and utterly
self-absorbed community is just what Jessie needs to break
free of her ghosts...
