description: Two children, Jennet and Ben, arrive at the seaside town of Whitby to stay with Alice Boston, a vigorous and eccentric 92 year-old. Ben is gifted with the sight - he alone can see things hidden from the eyes of ordinary mortals. He sees the mysterious fisher folk of Whitby and he soon discovers that Alice Boston and her friends are not quite what they seem. Who are they? Any why does a mysterious black hound stalk the darkened streets?
