Further details
In the hunt for her childhood time capsule, Linda discovers that the forest community is a far cry from the world she's left behind, from the eccentric Eel Sisters, and a man who lives in the woods with the wild boar, to the outspoken Verderer, local disaffected teen Ryan and artist and DJ Joy.
Linda heads off into the forest in search of her time capsule which she hid up an old oak tree 40 years ago - armed only with an OS map and a prayer to St Anthony. But her prayers are answered more quickly than she expected.
The moment is soon broken by the arrival of 'Pig Man' (as he's known to his friends). A reclusive figure who lives a solitary, self-sufficient life in the forest with only the wild boar for company, Pig Man gave up a job in the city after a devastating life event and now lives a frugal life off-grid with frothy coffee being his only extravagance.
But it turns out Linda might not be the only person with secrets as it's revealed that Pig Man might know more about the time capsule than he's letting on...
