A writer decides to use the strange inhabitants of a small island as a basis for characters in his new book.

A hushed, dreamlike atmosphere permeates this tale of isolation and creeping dread. The island's beauty masks an unnerving tension, as unspoken fears and strange occurrences build to a disquieting climax. It feels like a haunting, forgotten folk tale.
