Phillip Tennent makes a living combing the shore for whatever the Channel brings in. Years ago something went badly wrong, though nobody can say quite what: the state hardly works, strange animals swim offshore and Europe seems to have been misplaced. Then Phillip hauls up a living thing that never keeps one form, and he must carry it inland before it upends his whole picture of the world.
