At college in 1980s Luton, Robbie Goulding, an Irish-born teenager, meets elusive Fran Mulvey, an orphaned Vietnamese refugee. Together they form a band. Joined by cellist Sarah-Thérése Sherlock and her twin brother Seàn on drums, The Ships in the Night set out to chase fame. But the story of this makeshift family is haunted by ghosts from the past.
