Joey Carter-Wood (Max Deacon) invites his emotionally fragile sister Florence (Emily Browning) to join him on the coast, where she is welcomed with open arms into a vibrant community headed by equine painter AJ Munnings (Dominic Cooper), impressionist painter Laura Knight (Hattie Morahan) and her husband Harold (Shaun Dingwall).

Florence falls under the spell of Captain Gilbert Evans (Dan Stevens), handsome veteran of the Boer War, and he prepares to go down on bended knee to ask for her hand in marriage.
