There’s no honour among thieves… or family. Yorkshire 1840. Along this treacherous Yorkshire coastline the cutthroat industry of smuggling thrives and two rival gangs rule the night… the Stringers of Bay Town and the Lambs of Ravenscar. They wage a war for control of the contraband that flows through England's northern cities. After a lifetime of violence and bloodshed Jim Hood returns to his hometown of Whitby with his friend Samuel Comus their pockets heavy with prize money from their exploits along the African coast. They dream of respectability of turning their backs on their past but old friends and enemies await and old habits die hard… When tragedy strikes and Jim's well-laid plans turn to ash Jim is forced to return to the brutal world he'd sworn to leave behind. Now he must navigate the deadly currents that flow between rival smuggling empires where childhood loyalties war with newfound enemies and where the price of survival might be the very soul he'd fought so hard to reclaim.
