Synopsis

On Erin Island, an idyllic rural fishing village off the coast of Ireland, Ciarán O’Shea, the charming but heavy-drinking local policeman, is tasked with greeting Lisa Nolan, a straightlaced young officer who has just arrived off the ferry. Not that there’s much for them to do, aside from dealing with the occasional drunk, and that’s usually O’Shea himself.

But strange doings are afoot: the crew of a fishing boat disappears, whales start appearing dead on the shore, a local lobsterman catches a strange tentacled creature in his trap. Soon it becomes clear to O’Shea and Nolan that there’s something big out there, and that it’s hungry. It’s time to rally the villagers, arm the troops…and head to the pub.

Life seems good for Justine Fielding. Winning both a place at Oxford and the attention of Alexis, the leader of the in-crowd, things just couldn’t be better for the attractive and sought-after Head Girl of Fairview High. However, Justine quickly discovers that her new friends aren’t quite as glamorous as they seem, and under their cool veneer lies a deadly secret - a secret which led to the suicide of classmate Darren Mullet. But Darren is not talking this one lying down. He's back from the grave and hell bent on revenge. As one by one he despatches his tormentors, the in-crowd are about to discover once and for all, that life as a teenager really is murder.
