Set against the wild backdrop of Cornwall's rugged coastline, this gripping tale follows a young woman's journey of survival and self-discovery. When she finds herself caught between the harsh realities of poverty and the dangerous allure of smuggling, she must navigate treacherous waters both literal and metaphorical.

Carthew delivers a visceral portrait of life on society's margins, where desperation drives ordinary people to extraordinary measures. Rich with the salt-spray atmosphere of the Cornish coast and infused with a distinctive regional voice, this is storytelling that pulls no punches. A powerful exploration of resilience, belonging, and the lengths we'll go to protect those we love, it captures the raw beauty and brutal honesty of communities often overlooked.
