Synopsis

It is August 1976, and Romney Marsh is enjoying a long hot summer. On the surface, all is well in this lazy corner of Southern England where Hazel Dawkins, a young lawyer, is happily absorbed in her baby daughter. However, no sooner has she agreed to return to work than she finds herself trapped in a web of crime and corruption: a web that draws upon dark forces from the past which return to destroy her and those she loves.
