Painter Michael Sheldrake, struggling to cope with a failed suicide attempt, reflects on his past with his lifelong best friend and housemate, Peter Tremaine, an antiques shop owner. Their complex history began at the beach, where Mike, a shy and dependent individual, became Pete's protégé, with Pete's wealthy lawyer father serving as a patriarchal figure. Mike eventually left to marry Kate, with Pete agreeing to be the best man, but his overzealousness led to him getting stuck in the honeymoon hotel he paid for. The friends' troubled past, intertwined with tragedy, also involves Kate and a vengeful former police detective, Miller.
