When troubled Anna (Susan Hampshire) comes to Jersey in an attempt to bring some meaning to her life, she finds herself falling in love with a man called Hugh, much to his brother’s repugnance. The pair flee to Scotland but when Hugh suddenly dies, Anna is left distraught. However, things get more complicated when Hugh appears to return from the grave... Written by TVs Gordon Honeycombe (Mr. and Mrs.) this odd relic weaves in witchcraft, horror, and haunting into its subtly beguiling textures offering up a strange wind-swept mystery by the sea.
