Story of the local people who thwarted a huge drug-smuggling plot in Newport, Pembs, in 1983.

In this first episode the local farmers and fisherman of Newport make a series of strange discoveries. Oddly dressed men traipsing over private clifftop farmland. Expensive marine equipment found at a cove only accessible by boat. And a hatch hidden in the shingle of another remote beach, which leads to a strange, underground chamber. Who built it? And why? 

With the help of information from the locals, the detectives from West Wales begin to close in on the smuggling gang. The arrest of a Rolls Royce-driving cocaine dealer leads Pembrokeshire police on an adventure that uncovers grand houses with hidden treasure and a luxury yacht with a colorful history, helping them uncover more clues in London, Lebanon and Spain. But a discovery back in Wales leaves the case wide open: the arrest of a local man who reveals a treasure of secrets.
