People come and go. Twelve years ago, Edwin Tully arrived in Oxford and fell in love with Marius, a brilliant artist. They thought it would last forever. Two years ago, it ended. Now, Edwin lives alone, caring for damaged books and faded memories, trying to build a future from the past. Then, the weather changes, and the river invades Edwin's world, bringing Adam Dacre from the Environment Agency. Despite his unlikely appearance, Adam offers Edwin hope for a new beginning. As they grow closer while battling the rising waters, Edwin learns he can't shield himself from everything-and sometimes, he doesn't have to.
