In "Young Adam," the young drifter in question is named Joe Taylor, who takes up work on a river barge in Scotland during the 1950s. The barge is owned by an older couple, Les and Ella Gault. As the story progresses, it becomes apparent that Joe's arrival has a significant impact on the already unstable dynamics between Les, Ella, and another crew member named Cathie Dimly.
While working on the river barge, Joe displays an enigmatic and brooding personality, often observing the world around him with a detached gaze. As the barge travels along the river, a dead woman's body surfaces, and it is discovered that she had drowned. Joe secretly knows more about her than he initially admits.
As a series of flashbacks unfold, it is revealed that Joe had a romantic relationship with the deceased woman, known as Cathie. Their affair was passionate, but also self-destructive, as Cathie had a troubled past and was married to another man. Despite their dysfunctional relationship, Joe becomes obsessed with Cathie's memory and cannot fully escape it.
As Joe's connection to Cathie's death is slowly uncovered, tensions escalate on the barge. Les suspects that something is amiss, and Ella becomes increasingly curious about Joe's past and his involvement in Cathie's fate. The relationships between the characters become strained, and secrets and desires become impossible to contain.
Amidst this turmoil, Joe's dark and haunted persona takes center stage. His manipulative nature, combined with his withheld knowledge about Cathie and her death, turns him into a morally ambiguous character. The lines between victim and perpetrator, truth and deception, begin to blur.
In the end, the truth about Cathie's drowning is revealed, leading to a shocking climax that confronts the consequences of the characters' actions and their complex inner lives. "Young Adam" delves into the depths of desire, guilt, and the consequences of hidden truths as it explores the impact of one man's actions on the lives of those around him.
