The discovery of an unconscious smuggler with a curious rash below the sea wall of the Northern fishing town of Whitby ignites a terrifying chain of events. Detective Louise Bloom and marine biologist Cockburn investigate this strange occurence only to discover that the rash is an infestation of a parasite that is not unlike the common mussel. What is worse is that it is growing under the mans skin in their hundreds. The situation becomes critical when the now grotesquely disfigured smuggler wakes up and disappears into the small town. 

The savvy detective and the ‘fish out of water’ researcher quickly discover that these parasites latch onto your bones and are suck you him dry and grow and grow until they pop fully grown through your flesh… ready to infect the next unwitting victim.

With the infection spreading quickly and the massively popular Whitby Goth Fest about to begin Lou and Cockburn must act quickly to stop any more of the population becoming victims… including themselves.
