English Summary:
Felicia, a teenager in Northern Ireland, travels to Birmingham, England, hoping to find Johnny, the boyfriend who made her pregnant but who then left to join the British Army without leaving an address.
After taking a ferry to England and beginning a hopeless search to find the lawnmower factory in Birmingham where she believes Johnny now works, Felicia encounters an older man, Joseph Hilditch, a catering manager at a factory, who is also the son of Gala, an eccentric TV chef who enjoyed fame in past decades. Hilditch regularly watches the old programmes of his presumably-deceased mother while he cooks her recipes and collects material about her. Hilditch offers to help Felicia; however, his motives for doing so are initially unclear, and it is subsequently suggested through flashback sequences that he has in the past befriended but then turned on vulnerable young women.
Hilditch refers Felicia to a bed and breakfast and offers to drive her in his Morris Minor to a factory that he suggests could be the one she is looking for that is on the way to the hospital where the unmarried Hilditch claims he is going to visit his wife. Felicia fails to find Johnny at the factory; but, while she is out of the car, Hilditch goes through her bags and steals her money. Subsequently, Felicia comes across a Jamaican Christian witness who offers Felicia a free overnight stay at a church hostel. While staying at the hostel, Felicia discovers that her money has gone and, after appearing to accuse others at the home of stealing the money, flees the hostel for Hilditch's house.
Hungarian Summary:
A tizenéves Felicia Írországból érkezett Angliába. Azért lépett le hazulról, mert állapotos. Megpróbálja megkeresni születendő gyereke apját, de csak annyit tud a srácról, hogy egy birminghami fűnyírógyárban vállalt munkát. A lány megismerkedik Hilditchcsel, a magányosan élő középkorú ügynökkel, aki szállást és munkát ajánl neki. Lassanként kiderül, hogy a zavaros rémképektől gyötört férfi korábban is becserkészett több, otthonról megszökött tinédzsert, és ezúttal Feliciára vetette ki a hálóját...
