Charlotte leads a comfortable, affluent life with a nice home and a good job in the city. She also has a marriage that’s dead. “We’re like brother and sister and it’s too early for that.” Through an ad in a lonely hearts column Charlotte meets Jim, an Irish mechanic working in London. The differences in their class and nationality make for a tentative beginning to their relationship. But, gradually, their regard for each other develops into something deeper. Just when it seems that they have overcome the things that divide them, Charlotte discovers that Jim has another life. Set to the soundtrack of The Pogues ‘London’ songs, and with a cameo appearance from Shane MacGowan, England meets Ireland in a tale of mutual betrayal.
