Every summer Gil Hunt escapes to the same small town on the Cornish coast.   He rents a studio overlooking the bay from Cecily, who owns the café below, and spends his evenings at the bar on the pier or at beach parties with his surf dude friends.  Every summer is relaxed and hedonistic and exactly the same - which is just the way Gil likes it. Except this year, Cecily seems subdued and hankering after change for reasons she cannot or will not explain.  Gil, mindful of her restlessness, is distracted by a series of chance encounters with Jemima Gregory, daughter of a local artist.  As Cecily spirals away from him and Jem draws him ever closer, Gil’s own actions tie him into a web of other people’s secrets from which there is only the most violent and shocking escape.
