As the result of a shocking accident Joe and Eileen O'Kane experience a tragedy that leaves them bereft. A chill sets in between the young couple; Eileen turns to her parents for comfort and Joe finds himself caught up in his widowed father Patsy's regular jaunts around Ireland.
A new chapter of Joe's life begins when he is offered a job researching the story of the renowned nineteenth- century Derry shipbuilder, William Coppin, and his strange connection with the fate of the Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin - a story in which Joe will find echoes of his own. As Joe's interest in Coppin deepens, the two men's lives converge in a powerful narrative of love and loss, and of the unforeseen ways in which the past can illuminate and transform the present.
