Overview

Middle-aged Gerald Kingsland advertises in a London paper for a female companion to spend a year with him on a desert island.

Once on the island things prove a lot less idyllic than in the movies, and gradually it becomes clear that it is Lucy who has the desire and the strength to try and see the year through.
