The narrative captures the intricate lives of the characters, particularly focusing on the implications of love, betrayal, and the passage of time within a family. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the isolated yet imposing coastal house of Carne, built by Denzil Carron as a refuge during a time of religious persecution.

The narrative hints at generational struggles, familial duty, and the profound consequences of choices made, all underlined by the ominous presence of Carne and the unpredictable nature of the sea.
