Synopsis

Harvey Williams, a prominent marine biologist, comes to Pulpit Rock on a summer sabbatical, enticed by a hefty grant and the promise of directing an important research project. He soon discovers the project is a hoax apparently contrived to involve him in a cover-up of a deadly disease attacking local aquaculture fisheries. Angered and disgusted, his sabbatical now ruined, he is determined to find the culprits responsible for the ruse and to learn why they had chosen him to be their shill. Ultimately his investigation entangles him and his wife in the web of a sinister conspiracy that is slowly strangling this isolated coastal village. It has also placed their lives in jeopardy. This is the terrifying story of a courageous man's struggle against evil.
