Julie sells ice cream on the cliffs at Beachy Head and searches for love online. Her friend Bernard walks the clifftops and can’t seem to settle.

When sixteen-year-old Skye arrives for the summer and decides to stay, the lives of all three become unexpectedly entwined. But when memory takes hold, will their buried secrets force them apart?

Tabitha Mortiboy’s magical play tells of love, loss and midnight ice-cream sundaes under the starlit skies of the South Downs.
