Stephen and Anna Martins take a holiday break in a seaside village to escape the stress of London. The went to Polreath, which was a small, quiet fishing village on the northwest coast of Cornwall with a few holiday cottages, two hotels, and the usual shops and restaurants. It was a great place to relax.
The first day of their holiday was quite good but they still think about their jobs, especially Stephen. He couldn't tell Anna about his problem because she was always willing to listen to him. So he usually solves everything on his own.
Anna and Stephen quickly forgot about their lives in the city and started to enjoy their holiday by going to the beach and sunbathing. They met some new friends like Tristan, who was a fisherman who owned the Dolphin cottage that Anna and Stephen rent. One day Tristan asked both Anna and Stephen to go out early morning for fishing. Stephen agreed but Anna prefers to stay on bed to a late hour. Then the next morning Stephen arrived late but it was okay, though Tristan was much earlier. While they were fishing they had a very good conversation. Stephen was surprised when Tristan talked about himself very openly and in a comfortable way. Stephen was a good listener but he couldn't talk about himself.
After that, at home Stephen was suddenly called back to London on business. He was very upset because he was starting to enjoy his holiday. Of course Anna wasn't happy too but selfishly she was happy either that she didn’t have to go with him.
Anna was strangely attractive to Tristan. She was telling Stephen that he has attractive eyes and legs and that made Stephen get a little angry and it was the first time that Anna talked about a man like this. When Tristan asked her to go in a trip in his boat she quickly agreed. During the trip a woman got hurt and Anna helped her, because she was a nurse. Anna was staring at Tristan and he knows that. In the end Tristan wanted to walk Anna home. Unfortunately something really bad happened. Tristan made love with Anna. She was worried that thing would happen. Two days later Stephen came back, and everything was normal.
Then Tristan's girlfriend came back from London. She left Tristan because she couldn't stand the winter in Polreath. She made lots of trouble for Anna, but thank god Stephen didn't know anything. After a long hard holiday for Anna everything turns back to normal. A phone rings and Anna thought that was Stephen or her mother but it was Tristan……
