Annie and Duncan are approaching forty, and they have been together for fifteen years. They live in a small city on the English coast, one of those grey places where the British working classes used to holiday before the rise of low cost airlines and all inclusive holidays allowed them to discover Spanish wine and sun. They are both public servants (Annie works the city's museum and Duncan is a teacher), they live a peaceful life of small pleasures and they seem made for one another. But they are on the brink of feared adulthood, and Annie is troubled by the passing of time in which they seem completely submerged, without passion or excitement, by the ending of youth without offers for the future, and above all, without children. Because all of the passion of the methodical and organised Duncan is concentrated on Tucker Crowe, an American musician who after releasing a desolate and splendid album, Juliet, disappeared forever from the music scene. / Annie y Duncan están cerca de la cuarentena, y son una pareja de hecho desde hace quince años. Viven en una pequeña ciudad de la costa de Inglaterra, uno de esos lugares grises donde veraneaba la clase obrera británica antes de que los operadores turísticos y los vuelos low-cost le permitieran descubrir el vino y el sol españoles. Ambos son funcionarios –Annie trabaja en el museo de la ciudad, y Duncan es profesor–, llevan una vida tranquila de pequeños placeres, y parecen hechos el uno para el otro. Pero están en la frontera de la temida adultez, y a Annie le inquieta ese paso del tiempo sin pasión ni emoción en el que parecen hundidos, la juventud que se acaba sin propuestas de futuro, y sobre todo, sin hijos. Porque toda la pasión del metódico y ordenado Duncan se concentra en Tucker Crowe, un músico americano que tras un desolado y espléndido álbum, Juliet, desapareció para siempre de la escena musical, y hasta de la mundana, y vive recluido no se sabe dónde, aunque entre sus fans abundan las hipótesis e interpretaciones sobre su vida y su obra.
