Brighton, 1959
The theater at the end of the pier enjoys the most successful summer season in recent years. The brilliant young magician, Ronnie, along with his dazzling assistant, Ivy, become the brightest stars of the show, attracting a crowd of spectators every night. The third member of the group, Jack, a born entertainer and lovable joker, is the connecting link of the spectacle. As the summer progresses, the off-stage drama of the three friends begins to overshadow their theatrical success. The events unfolding day by day will indelibly seal their future.

Balancing between the pre-war and post-war era, from the events of a deceptive, youthful summer to the present day, the deep thoughts and dreams of three people who loved and betrayed each other emerge. What remains is the magic and unpredictability of life, as well as a torturous mystery that Ronnie, Ivy, and Jack must live through.

Magic and reality share the stage in this exquisitely written story that raises the curtain to reveal the power of love, the fragile illusions of youth, and the sudden twists and turns that life holds.
