Wreckers at Dead Eye: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

On a dark, stormy night in 1770, a ship crashes on the treacherous rocks of Dead Eye. It has been lured to its doom by the deceiving light of the Wreckers of Thriabbas, who make a living from the loot of 'organised' disaster.

But this time, there is a survivor: a young Persian girl who has witnessed the Wreckers' crime - and must be silenced. Only a handful of villagers, led by a retired sea captain, dare to stand against the gang; they must try to reach the girl first, and put an end to the Wreckers' evil practice...
