Want to unleash Spicer’s fury? Threaten his family.
Out with his wife and kids in the local park, Jon Spicer’s life is shattered by a vicious attack. The dog – aggressive and huge – appears from nowhere. At first, he assumes the incident was random. Soon, other events force him to think again.
Realising his family is in danger, Jon can do only one thing: fight back. And so begins a perilous journey that takes him far from his home city of Manchester to a remote corner of Ireland – and the fishing village his ancestors are originally from.
As the horrifying truth is gradually revealed, Jon must face his deepest fears to protect his loved ones.
