Eye of the Storm
On the Southern coast of England, conservationist Tom Frewen and his teenage daughter Nell dock their converted trawler boat, the Eye of the Storm. They try to solve the cover-up of a ship that lost five barrels of toxic industrial waste in a 1987 storm, one of which has still not been recovered. This inadvertently links them to the sinister plans of Martha, a malevolent old local woman determined to bring about an ecological crisis as a result of her schemes to assemble five ancient jewels together in a ceremony - the fifth of these also remaining elusive. At the heart of her plans is the abuse of a blind ten-year-old boy, Luke, with extraordinary clairvoyant abilities and ancestors who discovered a great, mysterious power central to the jewels and a cave on the coast. It is ultimately up to Tom and Nell to protect Luke and save the country.
