Francis runs a small plumbing supply company, constantly pressured by tax collectors, a striking workforce, and a demanding wife and daughter. His only relief comes from sharing lunch with his friend Gerard. The monotony shatters when the TV show “Where Are You?” features a woman from Gers searching for her husband missing for 28 years, a man who looks exactly like Francis, throwing his life into confusion.
