Liam O'Connell is a man haunted by his past, who lives by stealing, scavenging and tricking those he meets. He takes shelter in a derelict cottage belonging to the recently widowed Laura West, and the unlikely pair begin a relationship. After a visit from Liam's estranged wife, Peggy, they are left with Danny, the child she claims is Liam's, currently living in care. The pressure on all sides leads to a complete breakdown between Liam and Laura and he leaves. On his return a year later Liam discovers that Danny is living at Laura's house and has sworn to kill him. Now Liam has to find a way to survive Danny without losing Laura.
