Everyone has always hunted the strange & beautiful lampfish. It is the way of the village. Eric has always felt a little weird about the hunt, but he never really knew why. Until he met Zeke Cantrip. The villagers say that old Zeke vanished in one of the whirlpools off the coast. But Eric and Gully have been spending a lot of time with the old fisherman - and now they know a secret that had long been forgotten. The secret of the lampfish.
