Adam Brook is an insurance investigator tasked with exploring a case of suspected arson in the village of Leviton on the south-west coast of England. Questions surround a Mr. Askew, who inherited the property and recently had planning permission refused for a controversial development. As Adam delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a web of lies, secrets, and corruption that extends far beyond the boundaries of the village.

In this dark comedy of games, claims, and combustion, Adam quickly finds himself out of his depth in the close-knit community. He encounters a cast of characters, each with their own motivations and agendas, including the local police chief, a wealthy landowner, and a group of environmental activists. As the stakes rise and the truth about the fire becomes more elusive, Adam must navigate a complex web of relationships and alliances to uncover the truth before it's too late.

The visitor discovers that in Leviton, buildings are not the only things subject to kindling. The village is a hotbed of political intrigue, with powerful individuals and groups vying for control over the land and its resources. Adam's investigation exposes a network of corruption that stretches all the way to the highest levels of government, and he must confront the consequences of his findings.

In the end, Adam emerges from the chaos with a newfound understanding of the power of corruption and the importance of standing up for what is right. He leaves Leviton with a sense of purpose and a determination to continue fighting for justice, even in the face of adversity.
