England is in crisis. Fields are flooded, food is scarce and fear grips the land. William Bloor, a foxfinder, arrives at Judith and Samuel Covey's farm to investigate a suspected fox infestation.

Trained from childhood, William is fixated on his mission to unearth the animals that must be to blame for the Coveys' woes.
