Description
The efforts of Mina and Perry Lampe to save their playground from developers are interrupted by their annual holiday in Littlesea. When they arrive, they are shocked to find that the beautiful sandy beach has become a field of huge stones. They soon find out why as, in an abandoned beach hut, they encounter the mysterious castaway responsible a Gorgon from Ancient Greece endowed with terrifying magic powers. The creature demands their protection and in return offers to them fight the developers, but her plans are so alarming that they are glad to see the back of her.
