A young family receives a surprise when old Uncle Ian dies and leaves them a cottage in north Wales. For Ian's nephew and his wife Ann, it seems a stroke of incredible good fortune, enabling them to leave their life in the city for a newfound freedom in the remote seaside cottage. There's just one catch. Uncle Ian's will has an unusual condition: the couple must care for his pet cormorant or forfeit the bequest. The will's provision seems harmless enough at first, but when their young son Harry develops a strange fascination for the increasingly sinister and malevolent bird, they soon find that Uncle Ian's gift may not be a blessing, but a curse.
