A small seaside community begins to turn on itself when calamity strikes
Social worker Carrie Riccioni is recovering from a heart attack, in a holiday home by the sea in Norfolk.
Allowed only light walking on the beach to regain her strength, Carrie is mostly confined to the cottage and, somewhat bored, begins to take an interest in her neighbours.
Watching from the upstairs window, she soon realises the small community of Miller's Point is far from idyllic. There are tensions and strange goings-on.
But Carrie's curiosity doesn't go unnoticed. And not everyone is happy with her eyes on their affairs.
When someone goes missing, what prying Carrie has seen will become a matter of life and death.
