Fifteen-year-old Natasha has always believed she was special. When strange lights appear in the sky above her small seaside town, Natasha finds herself at the centre of a mystery. Where have the lights come from, and what do they mean for the town' s inhabitants? Meanwhile, Natasha' s mother, Elizabeth, a beautiful but vulnerable artist, falls in love with their lodger, Mr Bowen. Natasha is convinced that this relationship can only bring Elizabeth unhappiness, and she will do anything in her power to protect her mother. As portents of doom gather, unorthodox psychiatrist Dr Seymour Black arrives in the town, determined to uncover the truth, no matter the cost to others. In this darkly beguiling story, threaded with fading seaside grandeur and simmering heat, the actions of one teenage girl lead will lead to terrible consequences. . .
