• Set in 1976 on a wild piece of English coastline somewhere in the north-west, fifteen-year-old Tonto and his older brother, Hanny, embark on their annual pilgrimage with their parents, a Catholic priest and a collection of other oddballs, to visit a ... show all nearby shrine. Hanny’s parents hope the shrine will cure their son of his seemingly severe learning difficulties and muteness. They are holed up in an old house that, twice a day, is engulfed by a murderous tide while a mystery hangs over the group following the death of last year’s priest. Murkier yet are a couple staying at a house across the bay with a – possibly underage- heavily pregnant girl in a wheelchair.
