Num verão de Londres no final da década de 1970, as crianças Holly e Marina fazem um pacto de amizade eterna. Para Marina, dividida entre o glamouroso pai e a mãe viciada em remédios, Holly é uma das poucas referências de estabilidade frente a uma rotina familiar de brigas, drogas e auto-destruição. Holly, por sua vez, vive no mundo dos livros, frustrada com a mãe superprotetora e insegura diante da bonita e possessiva Marina. Com o passar dos anos, elas experimentam sexo, amor e drogas, mas para Holly a amizade começa a se tornar uma armadilha.

The film tells the story of the Blanche family who run a dark and dismal health resort on a remote island which is only accessible by ferry. The spa program consists of feeding the guests seaweed and eel-based meals, then administering liberal colonic irrigation. The spa is run by the family matriarch Dame Blanche until her death. Things continue on with her children running the resort until Kath, the resort's former sous chef and love interest of one of the sons, comes back to the island unannounced. Stranded between monthly ferries, she is a catalyst for a series of events that turns life as it is known at Hotel Splendide on its ear.
