It's 1960 and jobbing actor Simon Trevanion is out of work. His agent, Petunia Hemple-White, offers him the only thing on her books that is available and so in desperation he becomes straight man to comic Billy Fame at the seedy Remington Club in the heart of London's Soho. But as Simon begins to learn more about the club and the odd selection of characters who inhabit it - including the Banks family with their links to organised crime involving extortion, blackmail, prostitution and armed robbery - the more he is sucked into this dangerous new world and looks for a way to get out.

For jobbing actor Simon Trevanion, landing a role in the film Charlie by the Sea seemed like a dream opportunity to further his rollercoaster career. It was to be the debut feature film for Britain's best loved TV comic, Charlie Rumbold, and looked set to be a sure fire box office success. But when Simon gets involved in incidents from the comedian's past, involving the mysterious death of a girl on the Isle of Man seventeen years before, a blackmail note, and then a near escape from death himself when he finds a stumbles across a body at a caravan park near Southend, Simon quickly realises that he has got himself into very hot water and has to ask himself the question: Who is Charlie Rumbold?
