The story begins when the local farmers and fisherman of Newport make a series of strange discoveries. Oddly dressed men traipsing over private clifftop farmland, expensive marine equipment found at a cove only accessible by boat, and a hatch hidden in the shingle of another remote beach, which leads to a strange underground chamber.
Who built it? And why?
