An eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island tries to make his fantasies come true by getting his favorite musicians to perform at his home.
Musician Herb McGwyer — formerly half of folk duo McGwyer Mortimer — arrives on the remote Wallis Island off the coast of Wales, where eccentric widowed superfan Charles Heath has contracted him to play a show before a select private audience. After winning the lottery, Charles travelled the world with his late wife Marie, who loved McGwyer Mortimer, spending all their money. They then won the lottery again and retired to the island, where Marie died five years prior to the events of the film.
