A reformed drug addict visits the hotel where his late Aunt lived, and gets embroiled in a mystery that leads him to question his sanity.
Although not set in Seaford, the exterior of the Esplanade Hotel, which burnt down in 1976, is used. David Hemmings approaches the Hotel on a typically rainy and windswept day, with the prom and Martello Tower (complete with upstairs flat) also glimpsed.
The hotel was the first stage of plans by the landowners to turn Seaford into a mini-Brighton, with a pier planned for opposite the Hotel.
