And at The Ringing Bells Inn, Landlord Frank Newton and his wife, Dorothy, concede it is time to think of retirement. Meanwhile, visitors come and go and life goes on as normal. Or does it? The strange behaviour of some visitors raise many questions. The death of a quiet, unassuming holidaymaker in a subsequent supposed accident causes much gossip, and the evolving summer turns out to be anything but normal.
