It’s September, 1989, and a pupil of Hutchinson High School in Portstewart is found dead outside his home. The police and media speculate on whether it is suicide, natural causes, or murder. Actually, none of those explanations are true. The pupil was killed by something that has crawled from the sea; something with a terrifying and unnatural hunger, and his death is only the beginning. As more die, three students come to learn the truth about what is killing their schoolmates. Fearing ridicule if they make their suspicions known, the three decide to hunt down the creature themselves. Only they possess the knowledge to save the other pupils. Only they know the creature’s secret, and only they know how to kill it. Question everything you believe, because things are not as they appear. Don’t believe what you see!
