In the eye of the storm they are watching... A storm descends, a ship is wrecked. A young girl is found, alone and afraid. Villagers begin to vanish. And the sea begins to cry. A fierce storm envelopes a fishing village in Northumberland, and a ship the 'Embla' is wrecked on nearby rocks. The morning after, 'Big' Philip Jefferson, the lifeboat coxswain finds a young girl naked, and alive on the beach. Phil and his wife Mary take care of the girl, vowing to help her return home once the storm has ended. The girl is silent, mysterious, and some in the village are unsettled by her presence. When young men begin to disappear the suspicions grow and whispers spread. Tension mounts as more sinister events unfold, and the community becomes paranoid and divided. Who is this stranger? What is happening to the village? One man is determined to find the truth.
