Claire Mayle is taking a vacation, and she's chosen a shack in the back of beyond to stay, to ensure she is totally alone. The sea has an undertow at the front of the property, and the land at the back is quick sand, so it's not somewhere you'd expect any tourists... Yet the one thing that Claire is terrified of, is right there on the beach... A man! Not even when he rescues her from drowning is she grateful, accusing him of being inappropriate. Later that night there's a storm, and a man desperately pleads with her to open the door, but she refuses. Will there be consequences?
