When Jem Rosco - sailor, adventurer and local legend - blows into town in the middle of an autumn gale, the residents of Greystone, Devon, are delighted to have a celebrity in their midst. As abruptly as he arrived, Rosco disappears again. The locals think nothing of it - until the lifeboat is launched to a hoax call-out and Rosco's body is found in a dinghy. Superstition and rumour mix as another body is found in Scully Cove, and as DI Matthew Venn and his team investigate, Venn realizes that their own lifes might be in danger.
