It is 1959. The class of 4A at Rose Horn's convent school in Dublin has discovered boys. And dating. And kissing.

Rose dreams of love. And of exchanging her thick lisle stockings and bulky school uniform for the daring black chiffon numbers of Hollywood stars. When her mother discovers Rose's secret trysts with Frank Fennelly, she banishes her to spend summer in the depths of Kerry - far from temptation, she believes.

But beneath the peaceful exterior of Fenit village, with its close community and simple pleasures, lurks a wild place of social undercurrents. Here Rose meets heart-throb Mikey Daw, and she is drawn into the adult world of broken promises, hidden secrets and bitter tragedy.
