Román sleduje Sorchu O’Donovanovú, ktorá s charizmatickým hudobníkom Conom Dalym uteká z írskych brehov do Londýna, kde ich kapela The Fishermen dosiahne slávu, no tá odhalí temnú tvár úspechu a jedného dňa Con zmizne bez stopy. O dve desaťročia neskôr sa kapela rozhodne vrátiť na pódium na veľkom charitatívnom koncerte, pričom návrat môže odhaliť utajenú pravdu a zopakovať tragédiu. Knihu zrevízoval syn autorky Harry Whittaker a ide o znovuoživený raný román Lucindy Rileyovej, ktorý stojí za pozornosť pre atmosféru írskeho pobrežia, silný vývoj postáv (najmä Helen) a napínavú vyšetrovaciu linku. Čitateľovi však môžu prekážať toxické vzťahy a miestami nepresvedčivá, až „slizká“ Conova láska, hoci v závere čiastočne získa vierohodnosť.
