Will's brother Marty is always playing practical jokes. In their cramped holiday caravan, he tells the bloodcurdling legend of Captain Augustine Crow – and Will is terrified. Legend has it that when the sea glows at night, the ghostly pirate haunts the shore searching for a new cabin boy. Is it just another one of Marty's tall tales or is Crow out to get him?
