Ben is looking forward to staying with his Uncle Michael in the Scottish Highlands. He's keen to help Michael restore the old boat Sea Hawk - and Michael has promised to teach him to sail. But there's something strange about the boat, and the atmosphere in the local village is mysteriously dark.
Then the dreams start - terrifying visions of a body, floating in water, a body Ben recognises, but can't reach. A sense of fear and darkness begins to pervade his days, too, and when his new friend, Iona disappears, Ben fears the worst. It is not until he trusts his dreams that he finds her, almost drowned . . . and the truth of Sea Hawk's history begins to be revealed. The village, it seems, has long been haunted by a terrible accident that happened long ago . . .
A powerful story of loyalty and betrayal, guilt and redemption, courage and cowardice - mysterious and gripping to the end.
