After the Glen Carrig strikes a hidden rock in unknown southern seas, her survivors row for days and find only a desolate land of crying vegetation, then a vast sea of weed where derelict ships lie trapped. Told by John Winterstraw in the language of 1757, it follows their struggle against things that come out of the weed by night.
