John Swansen has risen to become Managing Director of a subsidiary of a major British company. But his ascent has cost him separation from his wife and family. Now his voyage has run into stormy waters and he must steer his way through them. But in whose company? The movers and shakers of big business, Or his family, Marion, his wife, and daughter, Rebecca? Or the resourceful (and often colourfu) inhabitants of Birsett, his native fishing village? Abigail, beautiful sexual partner of Jude, an aging hedonist, arrives seek to stir up John, and cause grief to Helen and Alex, the hard-working couple who care for Willie, John's father. Eventually, John finds himself out of a job, but cannot face life without position and power. He finds his plans and ambition at odds with the simple virtues of his father, the determination of his wife, and and the unconditional love of his daughter. Fortunately he finds a wise counsellor in JP a wealthy man who has seen it all and knows where true fulfillment lies. John's turmoil is brought to a dramatic conclusion in pitch darkness among the rocks just off Birsett.
