Orphaned and taken into care, Danny, a seven-year-old boy, is placed for adoption with a loving couple in Bodmin, Cornwall. Following indescribable cruelty suffered as a child, Danny is traumatized, shy, and a loner in life. Nevertheless, his adoptive parents shower him with love, affection, support, and understanding. Even so, is this enough? Their caring nature is challenged to the full. Years later, and in his early twenties, he meets a young Goth female. Danny is set on a profound, life-changing journey, the likes of which he has never experienced before. A local sleepy town police force swings into overdrive with a fried hand discovered at a local rubbish tip. A handless body found on Bodmin Moor has locals believing it to be the work of the Beast of Bodmin Moor. Local Detective Inspector Davina Dwyer is entrusted with investigating the horrific crimes, but more is about to unfold. Questions are asked in the House of Commons. The investigating team is put under immense pressure to find the culprit of the bizarre happenings, arrest and charge the evil offender. Meanwhile, local eateries come under suspicion when the hand, discovered at the rubbish tip, was found to have been fried in a specific cooking oil used only in the catering trade. In the meantime, several residents, including a local parish priest, go missing. Mysteriously, despite investigations to trace their whereabouts, no clues are found. The missing have disappeared off the face of the earth. What is the connection between the local killings, the disappeared, and a supernatural presence? History, ignorance, and heinous acts lead to an incredible tale with an unpredictable finale.
