30 years ago, the Rose of Nevada was lost at sea with all hands. When it suddenly reappears in the harbour of a rundown Cornish fishing village, it feels like a sign: if the Rose sets sail again, perhaps the village’s luck will turn. Nick (George MacKay) takes a job aboard, joined by newly arrived drifter Liam (Callum Turner). The boat and its new voyage are symbols of hope, but when Nick and Liam return from the sea, something strange has happened – instead of moving into the future, they have re-entered the past.
