Description

In the windswept marshes of Farlingford, River Andrew makes a living as a modest fish‑seller and occasional grave‑digger, his days marked by the salty air and the quiet rhythm of a coastal village. One evening he is summoned by two strangers—a sharply dressed English gentleman and his French‑speaking companion, a white‑haired marquis—to locate the long‑forgotten grave of a mysterious “Frenchman” buried beneath the overgrown churchyard. As Andrew points out the unmarked mound, memories of a burial twenty‑five years ago stir, and the men’s curiosity turns into a quiet urgency.

The discovery sets off a chain of questions about the dead man’s identity and why his resting place has been neglected for so long. With the marshes hiding secrets and the local gossip hinting at hidden motives, Andrew finds himself drawn into a subtle tug‑of‑war between history, personal loyalty, and the promise of untold information. Listeners are invited to follow his careful steps as the ordinary world of drying fish and grave‑keeping begins to intersect with a deeper, potentially dangerous mystery.
