London 1893. When Cora Seaborne's husband dies, she steps into her new life as a widow with relief and sadness: her marriage was not a happy one, and she never suited the role of society wife. Accompanied by her son Francis, she moves to Essex seeking refuge. Rumors of the mythical Essex Serpent return to the coastal parish of Aldwinter. Cora, an amateur naturalist, is intrigued by the possibility of discovering a new species. She meets William Ransome, the local vicar, who doubts the serpent's existence. They form a complex relationship that changes their lives, exploring themes of love and belief.
