Pontybrenin is a small Welsh town where the mines have long since closed
and unemployment and drug abuse are rife. Pontybrenin also has a reputation
as the most haunted town in Europe which the local council is exploiting to
create a new and unique tourist industry.
As
a result, the town now hosts several conferences a year on the supernatural
but, naturally, the local churches are less than pleased to see the streets
filled with minority religionists, pagans, druids and the devotees of a new
and powerful cult: The Church of The All-Seeing Eye.
A
vengeful local reporter persuades the council to recruit the Lewis family to
sell the town’s paranormal heritage which is the last thing this
extraordinary family needs. The Department of Security also send a senior
field agent, Mister Ambrose, to investigate the family and persuade them to
work for the Department as far-seers and worse.
Meanwhile, the Church
of the All-Seeing Eye find that Edgar Ashcroft, the founder of their cult,
has returned from the dead to open the doorway for his Master, an Ultimate
Predator, to cross over and
begin to feed. Only Thomas Lewis and his niece, Gemma, can stop Ashcroft –
if only they could get away from the cameras, the cultists, the secret
service agents, the local clergy, the drug dealers and - worst of all - the
talent scouts.
