It's the aftermath of the second opium war in Southeast Asia. Declan Malcolm, the newly elected captain, must lead a crew of sailors to navigate the treacherous high seas while protecting goods for a local triad leader, Three-Finger Tang. At the same time, Civil War veterans Ridley and Dranoff are adjusting to post-reconstruction and become mercenaries for hire. Both groups seek purpose to their life, and their paths cross by chance. But when a celebration of good fortune turns dangerous, the mariners and soldiers must join forces to vanquish a supernatural foe - or die trying. Historical fiction meets bone-chilling horror in Andrew Davie's 'From Beyond', a story set in the dangerous high seas of late 19th century Asia.
