Gerald Kingsland, a middle-aged man, places an ad in a London newspaper seeking a female companion to spend a year with him on a deserted island. Lucy Irving, a young woman, responds to the ad, eager for a unique experience. However, once on the island, Lucy finds that reality is far from the romantic notion she had in mind. As time passes, it's Lucy who shows the resilience and determination needed to survive the year, while Gerald struggles to adapt to the harsh conditions.
