In a small coastal town in Victoria, 17 year old Emily (Victoria Thaine) is anxious to find out who was her father. Her single mum, Susan (Susie Porter), wants to keep the past closed off, and maintains he was a "tom cat"; a tourist who came through the town one summer and never returned. She hasn't spoken to her parents since she fell pregnant at fifteen and refused to name the father. Local boatman Stephen (Robert Mammone), however, is haunted by the past in the form of memories of his deceased wife and daughter. Carl (Philip Quast), the town policeman, is hiding the past (as well as some of the present) from his wife Elizabeth (Wendy Hughes), who has her suspicions, while their older son Joel (Khan Chittenden) has a secret affair with Emily, which has explosive connotations.
