OVERVIEW

Dr Del Shaw, an environmental scientist, is brought in from a government watchdog called Doomwatch to test the effects of pollution from a sunken oil container on the populace of Balfe, an island off the Cornish coast.

The islanders are generally unfriendly towards Dr Shaw and his questioning. Even the young local schoolteacher Victoria Brown, not a native to the island, is guarded towards him.

Dr Shaw eventually discovers that the navy is responsible for dumping radioactive waste in the waters off the island. That combined with chemicals from an unethical waste disposal comapany is causing a disfiguring disease among the locals that eat the fish.
