Seasoned fisherman Reg is no stranger to sidestepping the law when the opportunity presents itself. After all, he lives on the 'sand side' of the tram tracks in 1920s Folkestone; a world whose inhabitants take care of themselves, where justice is self-contained and matters are taken care of by the close-knit fishing community. Among the tanned nets, fisherman's sheds and cafe banter and the odd shady deal, the inhabitants go about their routines, bound by the rhythm of the tide. That is until one day, while trawling the bay in the FE 13 fishing boat, Reg and his young crew haul up something unspeakably gruesome. A discovery that points to the very worst kind of crime. A discovery that will draw them into the wider world, into the machinery of the justice system and into a murky and sombre mystery. Crew members Fergie, Rommy and Billy love working on the FE 13 and are more than content with their lives of fishing, cups of 'cha' in Lou's Cafe and their Friday night pub crawls. When they stumble across evidence to bring the wrongdoers to justice, they want to feel pleased. But along with the morbid discoveries, will the crew also discover their limits? And when all is said and done, can they live with the consequences?"
