Longshore Drift

In the blink of an eye, in a busy Brazilian marketplace, a small boy disappears without a trace. His mother’s free-living existence, traveling South America with her lover and son, comes to a sudden, brutal end.

Two years later, broken from searching for her missing son, Nacio, and desolate at her lover’s departure, Lara returns to her childhood home on the southwest coast of Ireland. As she struggles to come to terms with her loss, Lara once again befriends Christy, her childhood sweetheart, who finds himself increasingly drawn to her bohemian nature.

But what starts as an interest in her past grows into an obsession. As Lara tries to piece her life back together, never losing hope for Nacio, Christy begins to fall apart. This is a tale of passion and betrayal, of the consequences of searching for love in all the wrong places, and of a heartbroken mother’s unswerving conviction that her child will be returned to her - even when all hope seems to be gone.
