More DescriptionMia Campbell is the young and beautiful senior partner of the fashion consultancy 'Mia Couture'. Her slightly over-bearing and protective father, Frank, has brought her up and shielded her from the hardships that life throws at the majority of people living in a seaside town, with a large disparity between the wealthy and those on the bread-line. Mia is care-free and happy, but naive to the darkness that has been infecting the town for most of the years of her life.
Sean Richards is the main cause of this darkness that holds the town in it's grasp. He's a likeable rogue, who owns a beautiful yacht and is popular in the harbour where he resides. The yacht is his pride and joy, and people would be forgiven for thinking it's his only love, except a little 'tell' which is it's name, 'Little Pookie'; his daughters' nickname when she was a toddler. Jasmine Richards also happens to be the Harbour Master and is seemingly the only innocent member of the family. The son, Simon Richards, is in league with his best friend, JD - an egotistical bully, who becomes unhinged and violent without warning. The two of them deal drugs in the local bars, and haunts along the seafront.
Clear that this is not all that has brought Sean his millions over the years, two undercover detectives have been holed up on a boat in the harbour, keeping watch over Sean, trying to catch him, and lead them to the larger cartel supplying the Richards'. Frustrated by constant interference from an unknown source, the detectives get too close to a vengeful entity residing in an antique dreamcatcher that has been gifted to Mia from Jasmine, and that now hangs in her little craft 'The Dream Chaser'.
The entity, once owned by Sean's missing ex-wife, maliciously haunts and manipulates Mia into hurting Sean, but this acts only to push the unlikely couple together, and they fall in love. The darkness gradually surrounds and envelopes Mia's life to the point of her believing she is going insane, while at the same time her own pure soul touches Sean and his outlook on life changes. Sean does everything to protect and support Mia. Together they make a formidable team as everything and everyone turns against them, barring Mia's best friends, Michael and Chloe.
Soon they too are caught in the crossfire.
The accidents and bodies begin to pile up. Too many of Sean's secrets are brought to light in front of Mia, and her trust in Sean waivers. Has Sean's past finally caught up with him? Will Mia become another casualty of the darkness that has always been with him, or has enough of Mia touched his soul to enable him to save her life from the impending threat? What other secrets await the unsuspecting Mia?
