An einem Morgen im Frühling treffen sich vier Freunde in ihrer Londoner Stammkneipe: der Versicherungsagent Ray, der ehemalige Boxer Lenny, jetzt Gemüsehändler, Vic, der Leichenbestatter, und Vince, der Gebrauchtwagenhändler. Vom Pub aus fahren sie ans Meer, um dort die Asche ihres soeben verstorbenen Kumpels Jack zu verstreuen. Ihre tragikomische Pilgerfahrt, von Kneipenbesuchen unterbrochen, führt sie nicht nur durch die Landschaft Kents, sondern auch ein halbes Jahrhundert zurück in die Vergangenheit. In den Monologen der Männer kommt all das zur Sprache, was ihr Leben ausgemacht und bewegt hat: die stillen Dramen, die verpaßten Gelegenheiten, Schuldigwerden, Unrecht, das sie sich auch gegenseitig zugefügt haben.
