Mark Burns (Stardust) plays Bernie, the film's alcoholic centerpiece. Bernie's life is in shambles at the moment. He hasn't got a job, he's always drunk, and he owes plenty of people money. For some reason, he is permitted to take his 8-year-old niece Winnie (Beatie Edney, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day) out for the day. Borrowing a couple of large bills from his brother-in-law, Bernie takes Winnie to the beach. Walking down the shore, he keeps stopping in at various beach side shops and establishments, all of which just so happen to sell alcohol.
As Bernie starts hitting the bottle, his physical and emotional stability starts to crumble, until he finally collapses and Winnie is left with no one to look after her.
