It's 2019, and sleepy Dierne Bay is given a unique bequest by a American benefactor. Soon a quiet war is raging between two local groups, Asylum, and Heritage, over their opposing plans for the gift they've been given.
Then a fishing boat and her crew disappear without trace, and the lives of Dierne's inhabitants are shown to be intertwined in a way nobody ever imagined they could be.
Legend has it the Lady only appears when the town is threatened, but who is she, and what is her l ink to the American's bequest?
In a time of growing unease and dissent, the people of Dierne find they must call on the ageless spirit of the Bay itself, to save them.
