Moving back home with his parents after a major upset in his life, trapped within the contentedness of suburbia, Sean is haunted by visions from his past and finds himself slowly becoming 'Mearcstapan'.

Struggling to reconcile two opposing images of his dad after a recent discovery, a boy finds himself lost in the unnerving vacuum left behind.

On a distant island a man waits. Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will. When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems.
