"It is 1899 and only the resolve of Lady Constance Drinkwater has kept the Far North Queensland settlement of Somerset from crumbling. Beset by storms, ill-luck and a mysterious disease that has killed all but two of ConstanceâÂÂs children, it is the arrival of strangers â anthropologist Professor Cornelius Crabbe and his companion, Mr Hop Lee â that sets in motion the final catastrophic days of Somerset."
