Annie and Duncan live together in a dreary English seaside town. Throughout their entire relationship, Duncan has been obsessed with an obscure 80's musician, Tucker Crowe, who quit performing over twenty years ago and lives as a recluse, denying all interviews and publicity.

When a new album of old Tucker Crowe demos is released, Duncan quickly writes a glowing review for the stalker-website he maintains about the songwriter. After Annie writes a dissenting review of the album, she begins to question more than just Duncan's musical taste. And when she gets a complimentary email from someone claiming to be Tucker Crowe, she begins a secret correspondence that could change everything.
