Stanley “Dick” Colton, a driven young physician, has swapped the bustle of his city practice for the salty air of Montauk Point in a desperate bid to cure his relentless insomnia. The sea‑kissed landscape offers him the promise of rest, but the quiet nights quickly give way to unsettling visions and a growing sense that something unseen is lurking just beyond the shoreline. As he wrestles with sleeplessness, his mind drifts through a cascade of strange, almost dream‑like encounters that hint at deeper mysteries tied to the local community.
The opening chapters immerse listeners in Colton’s restless world, painting vivid scenes of heated tenements, frantic rescue attempts, and the stark contrast of the tranquil, yet eerie, coastal nights. Through his eyes, the story blends medical intrigue with atmospheric tension, setting the stage for a compelling investigation that begins at the edge of the sea and extends into the shadows of human frailty.
