Josephine is haunted. At university in Aberystwyth she is grateful to be away from home and further each day from her past. But still the spectre of her dead mother torments her.

Glynn isn’t like the other people she knows. When she kisses him on a night out it feels new and exciting. Only the town is held captive by a violent storm and weird things keep happening. A whale washes up on the shore. Strangers appear in town, though no one can leave. The old buildings seem suddenly alive.

Caught in the middle, Josephine wants nothing to do with it. But something is watching. And it’s about to go walking again.
