A young drifter named Joe (
Ewan McGregor) finds work on a barge owned by the down-to-earth Les (
Peter Mullan) and his enigmatic wife Ella (
Tilda Swinton). One afternoon Joe and Les happen upon the corpse of a young woman floating in the water and the questions begin. Accident? Suicide? Murder?
As the police investigate the case and a suspect is arrested, it becomes evident that Joe knows more about the drowned woman Cathie (
Emily Mortimer) than he will admit. Meanwhile, against the backdrop of the investigation, Joe and Ella embark on a passionate affair.
