One summer following the Second World War, sixteen-year-old Robert Appleyard sets out on foot from his Durham mining village. He makes his way across the countryside until he reaches Robin's Hood Bay. There he meets Dulcie, an eccentric and worldly older woman who lives in a ramshackle cottage by the sea. As the summer months pass, the pair form an unlikely friendship that will profoundly alter their futures.
