The bay of Trewarthan is grievously famous for its insidious underwater rocks that took many lives of those who tried to reach the harbor. Parker arrives in Trewarthan to draw minute coastal maps and thus help to avoid future victims. But the locals don't approve Parker's work. Does the work itself bother them this much or is there anything else that makes them hostile to the newcomer? But all the contradictions fade as the sudden disaster breaks: the island is plunged into dense fog and the Fetch Rock lighthouse suddenly gets dim. Fishermen of Trewarthan are helpless since they shiver in terror even by mentioning Fetch Rock.
