California, 1939. A glamorous young couple sail a yacht off the coast, heading for the Gulf of Mexico. Behind them, fragments of the turbulent life they’ve abandoned, recalled in flashbacks and poignant memories. The actress, Laura-Mae, her promising career in Hollywood cut short in the most brutal of ways. The opportunist, Johnny Boy, fleeing from the authorities with a headful of dreams. Their love is of the special kind. It protects and nurtures them, inspires ambitious plans. But there’s a dark side too. A threat to anyone who might uncover the truth.
